I have been TERRIBLE at staying active in this community, so if you reached out and tried to colleague request me I apologize.

If you invest this money in the flips, you will owe bigger taxes compared to rentals activity. 

@Peggy Tibbs, you bet. 

Were you actively seeking multifamily rentals in NJ?

Figured if I moved into index funds I would 1) obviously drastically decrease the management fee (my advisor’s is only .75%, but still much larger than the .04%). 2) have fewer commissions as I would not be planning on selling the index funds and actively trading as I have been doing to date.

Probably your best bet for cash flow here as a few clients of mine own them and do ok, but its a challenge dealing with that type of tenant and might not be the best first investment property idea..  

Hey folks - I found a couple of Roanoke, Va meetup posts on here using the search, but none of them have been active in a couple of years. 

I bet it will more than double in 5 years especially after the I 70 project

I am aware that the city inspectors are active in certain areas, slapping violations on houses that haven't been raised. 

Basically- take 5% of the rent I have and put it into the llc bank account to show activity and pay taxes on that later when I file?
