@Alex S. And by “get a handle on”, do they mean “get a piece of the pie”?

On of the biggest mind f**ks accomplished by government and the “higher ups” is that “the rich don’t pay their fair share of taxes”. That in turn makes the middle class feel as though the rich should pay more taxes. Why on earth aren’t middle class people asking to have their taxes REDUCED?!?! THAT should be the push. More taxes means more government opportunity to blow our hard earned money.
I don’t think you should have one ounce of guilt for taking advantage of the tax code. You could share your knowledge with those W2’ers and try to encourage them to take the steps needed to be their own boss.

@Paul Henning
Are you already under contract for the SFH you mentioned?
If not, you could use the 30k towards the down payment on a 2+ unit and house hack. Just a thought. Good luck!

It may be about math, but hardly has anything to do with geometry. I get your point though.

This may sound like an echo chamber, but It’s a scam. I’ve purchased two properties with hard money and any and all costs were processed AT closing. Not a single dollar was asked for prior to.

Hey sir!
I am a Real Estate Agent in Troy, MI (Metro Detroit), and I can vouch for those saying that Detroit and the metro area are great for turn key rentals as well as value add opportunities. The brokerage I work for has many years of experience dealing with investors. I’d love to chat further with you. Send me a message when you have some time. Have a great day!
