Did you bring comps to support or just cross your fingers?

@Michael BreedloveIt's all about educating yourself, investing in yourself and surrounding yourself with a great team.

You just need a great team in place.

It takes a dedicated team (6 in our case) to meet regularly.

After a few months of discussing, I managed to get her support in my plans for real estate investing.

This community is such a supportive resource, and the opportunities for education are rich.

I'm starting to lose my patience especially when I make a fair offer on a house that the offer is supported by half a dozen comps but yet the bank won't budge but then I'll see a better property that was listed for more that sold for half the price...Maybe this is some real bad luck here I do not know.

The way the opportunity zone tax code is worded now is that if the investment consists of a mix between capital gains and cash contributions then only the portion relating to capital gains will give rise to tax benefits (i.e. pro rata treatment, cash contributions would dilute the benefits)If you have any support for the post tax cash investments being allowed let me know!

Regrettably there is usually a notable lack of first person proof to support their position.

I am looking to learn as much as possible and assemble a team so that I can invest out of state in the Connecticut market by the end of this year.Some background on me: I am 25 and currently operate a Social Media Management company where I build my client's Social Media accounts.
