Gotta love that tax free combat pay. :)

Basically boot on the ground!

Hey BP
Could use some advice. I have a friend that has been my eyes and ears for deals in an area not close to me. She's been doing it not only because she's a friend but also because she's interested in investing her...

I feel like the most important part is to have your boots on the ground to figure out what the sub markets are that you like and don't like.

That being the case, I'm ready to hit the ground running when I finally get boots on the ground in Pittsburgh. 

The real estate agent came highly recommended and she has proven to be a wonderful boots on the ground advocate!

They come for funerals and weddings, for conventions, for Cyclovia and El Tour and Dia de los Muertos,” said Johnston, who holds the status of an Airbnb “superhost” — one who has nothing but five-star reviews from customers.Johnston said she strives to include special touches — local history books on the coffee table, piñatas on the patio, cowboy boots on a shelf — to give visitors “a sense of what Tucson is all about.”

Anything less than $875k (less selling/closing costs) becomes “boot” and is taxable up to your total cap gains and depreciation recapture.To avoid tax, 2 rules.1) replacement property price must equal/exceed the sold property2) you must reinvest All the cash proceeds from the sale

Short of attending a boot camp, I’ve done about as much reading and research as I can on the subject.

I have a truck bed tool box, and aside from having a tool bag (separate) that has most any hand tool you could need, the box has spare fuses, a plumbing snake, rubber boots for a wet basement, a drill & saw, a little bit of wire, etc.
