Ordinary income tax brackets have been expanded, and tax rates in most of those brackets were reduced with the new tax plan.Long term capital gains are taxed at 15% of the gain if you had an annual gross income of 400k ish (i think it's slightly higher).

Even if you don't think you know people with such funds, often people will have old retirement accounts from previous jobs that can be rolled over to self-directed IRAs, allowing you to set up a win-win scenario - you get good rates and favorable lending terms, they get a better return secured by local real estate and managed by someone they know.Lastly, I've noticed a lot of increased activity in the syndication space, which is a variation of private financing but expanding beyond friends and family.

Cash is king but credit is needed to scale if you want to expand your RE empire.I hope this helps and have a good one.

But there won't be that much of that sort of thing here -- not unless the local tertiary schools make incredible strides in growing their endowments and expanding their facilities. 

I am looking to grow into commercial real estate as well as developing homes and apartments. I current own 8 rental properties out right, with no loans on them. The properties bring me in a little less than 8 thousand...

With that being said, looking for cities that are changing, expanding, and growing.

And I have 7 units in Indianapolis that I use a property manager to take care of because it is a small portfolio and the PM specializes in section 8 tenants which I have in some of my properties and I’m not interested in paying someone to learn all about that just to manage a few properties if I’m not looking to expand there right now.

My husband and I wish to expand (we Airbnb our guest room now) and buy our first STR home in 2022.

As I seek to expand my RE investment, I would like to have an asset that can produce more potential cash flow.

We normally use a Series(the one DeWayne mentioned) that allows to own properties nationwide and us far cheaper to expand than using traditional LLC's.
