Looking for a tax strategist with extensive experience servicing clients with RE portfolios. 

Hi @Bruce Woodruff - I'm not suggesting that Google and other tech companies always do everything above board. But you might want to source info from another site. The homepage of that site hasn't been updated since March of this year. Pretty big red flag.  

Can anyone recommend any informative/useful books regarding tax strategy for RE investors? Thanks! 

Anyone familiar with builders in the Pigeon Forge area? If so, please send me a direct message. Thanks!

Which tools/services have you found to be the most reliable? AirDNA and Price Labs appear to be the most commonly used. Feedback on those? Other alternatives?

I'm interested in purchasing a STR in the Smoky Mountain region. Between blogs/forums/podcasts/calls with brokers/etc -- here are the biggest takeaways I have so far. I would greatly appreciate any other tips and/or things I should keep in mind. For better or worse!

*Stay within a 30 minute drive from Dollywood.

*At a minimum, focus on 3+ bedroom properties. But ideally, you want 4+ bedrooms. 

I'm confident I can self manage the property, but I'm not even concerned with that part of the process right now. I need to buy something before I worry about renting it! 

Thanks all!

Hi All

This question is for experienced investors... I'm interested in rental properties / flipping -- and I'm wondering if it makes sense to take a real estate course(s) -- just to obtain some knowledge. Obviously nothing is more valuable than actually going through the process of finding and purchasing a property -- but I was curious as to whether others saw any value in taking some courses or getting a license.

Thoughts...?
