Rental income is subject to tax, but it is also possible to deduct many costs related to owning and maintaining rental property, including property management fees, repairs, and mortgage interest payments.Additionally, for those investors holding properties in Germany for the long-term, the country's capital gains tax law is attractive.

Feel free to connect with me and send me a message if you'd like more details.

I feel a loss of direction and that makes it really hard for me to focus and build.Do we keep at building a portfolio of small multi family (very abundant in my market, very rare to find anything above a triplex for sale), with plans of selling the portfolio and 1031'ing into larger properties? 

Partner Driven covered 100% of the financing, including the $220,000 purchase price.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

I want to share an experience ive had over the past few months with my newest multifamily purchase, and highlight the importance of being consistent, telling everybody what you do, and what you are looking for even when you dont feel ready.

I work with new investors all the time and have to get past newbie investor puberty which include Shiny Object Syndrome and  the mindset that this business is Quick Money with little to no effort (thanks to Social Media). 

I think AI will continue to get better with time but robots will never be able to build true trust because they have no feelings. 

Would you share 3 specific things I should do during my "training period" (if it includes a book, which one)?

I’ve had many clients do a traditional 1031 and then they feel like they have a gun to their head with the shot clock.
