Recently someone asked about investing in Baltimore and got a pitch for how much easier it is to invest in syndications.

It's a lot of cash investment in rehab and this will be my first investment only property.

Hello, My husband and I have had a busy year diving into buying our first investment property and starting an e-commerce business.

We utilize an engineering department and do a LOT of analysis to ensure our insureds are adequately protected while also pleasing our broker(s).I studied finance in college and would confidently say I'm ahead of the curve in equity investing (stocks).

The idea that the very thing I enjoyed most could potentially make me financially free one day seemed to breathe life back into a confused, lost 16-year-old.For over a year, I continued to watch, listen, and read about real estate investing, as well as study to take my Michigan Real Estate License exam.

I am 25 years old, since I was 9 my dad made me read the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and 1 year an a half ago I was transferred to USA from work, in that book he talks about financial freedom and real state, so  I recently bought the book how to invest in real estate, by Joshua and Brando (I am still on page 120) however with each page my interest increased, which lead me to this forum. 

I work in investment real estate down in Southwest Florida and would love to grow my network!

Triple Net investments have gained a lot of popularity in the last 18 months and for good reason.

I would take out the 401K loan towards the downpayment.If you sell stock, you have to pay taxes - You mentioned the 15% federal capital gains tax rate(if you are not in the top bracket, otherwise its 20%).You may also be subject to the 3.8  Net Investment Income Tax. 

I'm Stephen from Cleveland, passionate about real estate investing for 2 years now.
