I have a horse that I’m conditioning to compete in an 100 mile horseback race within a year or two(which also doubles as my gym/workout).

No you don't have to have a college education or be good at math to go into real estate investing, but you do need to have some sort of income to buy a property and if you aren't good at math, hire a good property manager who is.A good place to start is buying a duplex where you live in one half and you rent the other half. 

Should I deduct half of the mortgage interest (interest of $200k) to A and half to B?

I had no idea at the time how I was possibly going to buy and sell real estate in Ohio from half way across the world.

She was pretty confident that most appraisers will only use flood plain comps--that is, factor the flood plain at all--if half the town, and most available comps, are also flood plain (makes no-duh sense w comp-method of appraisal, now that I think of it).

Most OOS investors fail to realize that Detroit was geographically built for 2 million people, but currently has less than half that population.Some areas of the city, maybe 1/3, are coming back strong, another 1/3 is so-so and the last 1/3 is no mans land.How long you have sit on a piece of land before you can profit on it, depends on where you buy.

My contractor is conveniently doing the siding as well so we're modifying the window size by half inch to get some big box store windows in, now we're just waiting on the siding!

Once you get a grasp on what wholesaling is, you can start jumping into that journey and you will already be miles ahead of other investors, but again, it comes at the difficult task of learning as much as you can and not giving up.Hope this helps and feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

This is my first post ever on here, I've been a lurker for the past year and a half or so.

Half way through the construction an inspector came by and gave us a stop work order because we were not doing it to commercial code and didn’t pull a commercial permit.
