I have dabbled in some crowd funding RE through Fundrise to get more passive RE exposure while I was too busy with personal life to buy my own properties.Day job: Engineer and Project Manager in energy sector.REI interests: To start, SFR and smaller MFR, eventually commercial and who knows?!?

In what ways will that level of income be a drag on your spirit, time, and energy? 

Under the tax code, an individual may deduct up to $25,000 of real estate loss per year as long as their adjusted gross income is $100,000 or lessif you choose to spend more time and energy than it's worth then you could go to small claims court and get a judgement.http://www.ag.state.il.us/cons...My 2 cents.

This can result in increasing fogging, energy costs, and noise.

For me personally, I just had to get over the fear of losing money by just biting the bullet and diving into my first deal.

I’d definitely prefer to be nearer to where I work but I may have to bite the bullet and go farther out.

It was one of the most simple and yet persuasive arguments I've heard in my ten years of following the emergence of clean energy technology, energy efficiency, and the fight for environmental issues while balancing regulation.

I’ve found that it really helps to spend that energy in making connections in your community.

None of that matters unless you find a deal and you will just be spending time, mental energy doing research that you cannot use yet.There are many many ways that you can go about finding deals.

I loved everything you said and your energy, it's one of my favorite episodes (i've listened to about 75 so far).
