Thanks for reading.

If someone could point me to some beginners reading materials, and possibly recommend a strategy to get some skin in the game (i.e. how to get a JV money partner) I would be very grateful! 

Hello, all, I've been reading BP for a bit, but this is my first post.

We live in Oklahoma and file a joint return.How do we set this up to avoid paying self employment tax on the rental llc return?

I have been doing a lot of reading and researching (on biggerpockets and else wear), but feel stuck/nervous about getting into my first investment.

The 25% "vacancy" is used to offset maintenance, fees, and vacancy.However, you cannot use the rental income from the vacating property unless it's 100 miles away minimum, or other exceptions (enlarging family size, employer-forced move, etc.) so your income would have to cover your vacating property plus the new property (minus 75% of the rented units.)

I’ve listened to most if not all the podcast episodes and read some of the top recommended books by the guests.

Hi BP Community, I've read some posts before covering investments from various angles but have not found something specific to my situation so I'm am looking for some thoughts and advice from the wise folks on BP.

The agent should be doing this, submitting offer, making sure it's clearly stated all cash (I can't tell you how many other agents call me up and ask these questions because they don't actually read the darn contract!
