I am not currently planning to buy additional real estate.

I live in Pembroke Pines, Florida but I am originally from beautiful Argentina, so I am also fluent in Spanish too!.

You get to deduct 3.3% of the value of each property off your taxes each year (in addition to all the other expenses).  

I've learned that the best way to do it is to start off with a purchase that you yourself will live in.

Hi, I am new to real estate and I bought a house recently and planning to house hack by renting the basement out while I live in the house for a year or 2 and then move out and rent the whole house.

Duplex, live in 1 side, rent other side out via STR, MTR, or LTR2.

Hey Paul, I invest and live in the Triad (Greensboro, High Point, Winston Salem).

Many have gone like the wind, new ones pop up and will also disappear with the next breeze.Selling crap properties, in crap areas for more than they are worth and then passing on to 3rd party PM that nickel and dimes to death.It's a shame but it's been the same cycle since I started in 2012 and even longer that I remember.I feel sorry for such investors that commit so these providers but I feel even sorrier for those that try DIY BRRR from out of state.Asset classes are variable and "Potato" "Potato" lolFor example, I can almost but guarantee that my B class in Toledo for $90,000 for example is D class in Cinci.Lived in Middletown and owned a few rentals in Cinci so know the market decently.It also comes down to how someone was born and bread.I had investors come from Cali and laugh at me and my "B class" properties.They said it's Z class.Even tho my entire team lives in the area and so did I for 10+ years.No silver spoon in my mouth growing up and I wouldn't sacrifice my families safety in a so called "Z class" area.But we are all different, right?

As someone who has a tendency to spend excessively and live paycheck to paycheck, the lockdown measures implemented during the pandemic unexpectedly helped me stabilize my financial situation.
