Hi Bigger Pockets Community, I am a Realtor in the Grand Rapids area who has experience in Real Estate investing.

Recently relocated to the United States i Am A CITIZEN & I’m just starting my journey in real estate.

Is it a good idea to get my real estate license to have access to the mls? 

Quote from @Carlos Gonzalez: I’d love to hear from you all—what’s been the most valuable lesson you’ve learned in your real estate journey?

Quote from @Robert Ellis: Has anyone here successfully raised over $1M in equity for a real estate deal using an online platform?

A real estate lawyer in this game would work for a Donald Trump or a real estate developer with multi million dollar deals.  

@Kevin Duke Since Subject A’s $6M net worth is below the federal estate tax exemption ($13.61M in 2024) and Florida has no estate or inheritance tax, Subject B can inherit the property tax-free with a step-up in basis to the fair market value at the time of death, eliminating capital gains tax if sold immediately.To avoid probate, Subject A can use a Lady Bird Deed (Enhanced Life Estate Deed) or a Transfer on Death (TOD) Deed, which allows automatic transfer to Subject B while retaining full control during their lifetime.

@Sean O'Keefe can I get a copy of the real estate professional logbook?

I'm looking to build a business of real estate investing and private money lending.

@Sridhar Das, Like @Sam Cohn mentioned here, a 1031 exchange would allow you to defer all of the tax and depreciation recapture.Investors looking to scale their RE portfolio will use the 1031 exchange and allow that tax to work for them by reinvesting into larger or multiple investment properties, using the BRRRR strategy.The 1031 exchange allows you to invest in any type of real estate as long as it is held for investment use. the 1031 is a great tool to team with cost segs and BRRRR to maximize tax savings and give you maximum growth potential.
