Can you carry losses forward as well?

As far as my goals are concerned, I have a few thoughts in mind: 1) I would like to get in touch with a few wholesalers in the area so that I can more quickly and efficiently acquire properties to continue my flipping business,2) I would like to acquire multi family residences as investments to hold and rent,3) I would like to learn more about financing options or best avenues to obtain capital as I do not have a large amount of cash sitting to be used for my business,4) I am interested in syndication deals,5) I would like to become more involved with the local real estate groups,6) Any advice of best ways to use BiggerPockets is always appreciated.Looking forward to hearing your responses and chatting.

Looking forward to hearing a follow up every year or so on how you're doing.

Then you pay a grand or two for them to certify the work, and you can move forward quickly.

My recommendation is to search out Morris Invest on this forum and make your own decision as to whether you feel it's a good idea to move forward with them.There are other companies imo that appear to be much more promising for a first time real estate investment, however i must disclose that i have not bought from any of them; yet.Curious as to why your mom insists the property must be bought outright? 

I look forward to establishing those connections and finally getting started. 

well then if its zoned for that and utls are there then carry forward.. its pretty tough in our markets though with build cost to make sense of building a duplex.. vis a vi rent.but I don't know your rental rates.. building costs are 100 a foot  so probably 300k or so to build it to rental grade plus lot.. so maybe your all in for 400klets say rents are 1500 a side  that's not bad..

Some of the people I deal with are very confrontational, others we have a drink and write checks to make the numbers work out regardless of the paper work.I'd say if there is a good level of trust why doesn't the borrower just pay you for Y note from the proceeds of the sale without anything extra on the payoff demand. 

Thank you for you input, I look forward to reading them.  

I'll use this 457 money, after they withhold 24% in taxes of it, to pay the down payment.Here is what I'm wondering as I plan to move forward.
