Hi James,Starting with a turnkey cash flow rental is a good idea.

You should look at any limitations on gift taxes though, and she may actually want to structure it around any of this.

They may contribute other ideas.

I'm open to buying anywhere in the USA so any commercial or real estate location ideas  are also greatly appreciated.Poppy P.S - My mission is to gain financial independence from my husband so I can feel stronger and more in charge of my life ;) Inspired by all the bad *** investors in these forums!

There are two different topics / questions1) Can I deduct real estate education if I am involved in a real estate rental trade or business.2) If you can deduct it, is there a passive limitation involved.

In relationship to the house prices that are very high(west coast, NE, southwest FL) the upper limit has no ceiling so the floor is going to be appropriately higher anywhere else. 

I am looking to add a CPA to my team and have no idea where to start.
