Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

One way to be able to deduct passive loss from from active (w2) income when you make more than 150k limit is to be considered a real estate professional (you can look up requirements on this).

The older 20's duplexes in Wilshire Vista, Picfair Village, etc, often see long term tenants - more young professionals and families are moving into the area.

A professional letter written on company letterhead is way more effective when dealing with commercial and multifamily owners as they are usually investors themselves.

I did not get the feeling that many people knew a substantial amount about the process but the "guru" did give a fair amount of professional resources(bankers, lawyers, etc).I think if you really dive into it you would know much more than the average person who hears how cool it can be and goes to a few seminars.

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

I am going to have a professional inspector come out as I had a very thorough one recommended to me recently, just wanted some opinions from those more experienced.

I am in FL and I have a FARBAR contract but I am not sure if it can be between me and the seller or is there any other professional that needs to be involved.
