Allen, I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation over one that is local.

Really depends on when the funding gap will appear.

Yes, there is a lot of real estate investments opportunities out there.

Anyone can buy a bunch of properties, can you sell them and make a profit is the real question.

That’s why I’m here, I’m looking for a better way and real estate looks like the path a mechanic can take to no longer being a mechanic.Right now I am figuring out what strategy I want to focus on.

Have more open houses to help minimize having to pay a realtor on the selling end Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Lastly, this loan would need to be heavily dependent on the actual property instead of my tax returns as I just quit my job a few months back to go full-time into Real Estate.

The long-term capital gains tax rate is usually 0%, 15%, or 20%, depending on income level.

It depends on the market, but in Austin, having a washer and dryer either in unit or in the complex is pretty market standard.

Have you ever considered using private money loans for your real estate deals?
