Hello,Anyone here a non resident investing in real estate and has figured out how to protect themselves from estate taxes (40% of value).I want to keep buying real estate portfolios but want to figure this out if anyone has done it or can connect me to someone who has.Thank you

I am starting out in my real estate investing journey and was hoping to see if fellow investors recommend pursuing short sales, banked owned properties and foreclosures, versus pursuing typical MLS properties or off market properties with distressed properties or sellers.  

I have been interested in investing in US real estate for quite some time and have spent the summer reading books and getting a bit more familiar with it all.

To answer your question the past 2+ years I have not bought any real estate due to my opinion its over inflated and have been on the debt side (lending). 

Personally I would demand the security deposit back and then offer to let them keep it if they release you and your daughter from any other claims.

I am in the market for a custodian for a self-directed IRA for real estate investing.

Simple solution: Inform them that unfortunately you can’t accept ESA letters without being able to verify the validity of the letter by speaking with the local licensed mental health professional who prescribed them their ESA, so that you can verify that they have a legitimate disability requiring an ESA as well as that whoever prescribed it to them is a real licensed mental health professional who has an ongoing relationship with them beyond just receiving a one-time payment to “prescribe” the ESA. 

That is the only unit that is probably true market value.We considered flipping the building and have some offers - but they want at least one unit empty.In reality - we would like to keep the building as it has great rent roll potential- but we need to contest these leases.Any advice?

@Paul Harris,Congratulations on starting your real estate adventure!
