Above that income level the rate climbs to 20 percent.But ultimately it’s  personal decision, loaded with plus and minuses. let us know what you decide to do!

To which I turn to the most trusted community in RE.Myself and two of my business partners are looking to start our journey in Real Estate development and am looking for some advice, we have experience in owning and managing rentals so none of that is new to us...just building the thing is.We are looking to start developing duplex homes across the Chicagoland Suburbs but cannot find the right person to talk to that can give us a clear idea of where to start.

Additionally, we must maintain a network of legal, financial, and industry experts who can provide insights and guidance on navigating complex regulatory environments and geopolitical risks.These additional strategies have been very effective for me personally and I believe that these can be helpful for every CRE investor.

As that will at least help folks that you reach out to know that you are a real person, with a picture and professional bio.
