I don't know how to post a poll in this forum, so please just feel free to post your response.WHAT ARE THE TOP TWO REASONS THAT YOU ARE INVESTING IN A STR AT THIS TIME?

It looks like only accredited investor can invest in multi family investing.

Good afternoon everyone, I am 21 years old and interested in starting my real estate investing journey.

Just trying to compare the returns on my rentals versus my investment accounts.

It's easy to document that Crane has owned the property with the intent of holding for productive investment use. 

Here is my situation:- I'm a W2 employee that earns north of $500k a year- My wife is a stay-at-home-spouse- I'm looking to buy ~ $1,000,000 in STR Real Estate by the end of the year (as an investment and to offset my tax bill)I'm fairly well versed in the rules surrounding using STR to offset active income.

The other benefit of doing it myself is that it's forced me to be much more involved and to better understand the finances of my investing business.

For those licensed agents out there....when you buy a property for yourself, either personal residence or investment property, you typically receive the buyers agent commission.Is this considered taxable income?

You paid $2m for it two years ago w/ 25% down (it was suffering from mismanagement and deferred maintenance), invested $325k in capital improvements, and it's now valued at $3m with an NOI of $195k (cap rate assuming $3m value is 6.5%).
