Please, share your opinion about real estate investment potential in Cape Coral FL.

It’s awesome that you’re looking to put your capital to work despite having a demanding schedule — a lot of high-performing professionals are in the same boat, and real estate is a great path to long-term wealth and passive income.

I don't like to co-invest with disqualified persons using my retirement funds b/c this can lead to a prohibited transaction, but I participated in a couple of dozen fractionalized Deeds of Trust with unrelated parties.

Since 1031 exchanges also add closing complexity and strict timelines, you can likely skip it unless your tax preparer identifies taxable depreciation recapture.Next StepsConfirm whether depreciation was claimed (or should’ve been).Calculate your adjusted basis carefully, including improvements.Consult a real estate-focused CPA.Let me know if you’d like our downloadable Capital Gains Tax Strategy Guide, it includes checklists and timelines to help plan smart moves around selling, 1031s, or converting to rentals.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I recently moved to Houston and am looking to get more knowledgable on the local real estate scene.

Creative solutions, backup buyers, timeline adjustments… that’s the real work.Patience Is a SkillWholesaling gets pitched like a quick-cash hustle, but if you want consistent income, you’ve got to treat it like a real business.That means:Following a process even when it’s slowSticking with deals that take weeks (or months)And showing up every day whether you’re closing or notIt’s not always flashy, but it works.Final ThoughtsHere’s the truth most people skip over:It’s follow-up.It’s rejection.It’s getting ghosted.It’s constant pivots.And it’s a whole lot of patience.If you’re dealing with all of that and wondering if you’re doing something wrong — you’re not.You’re just doing it for real.

Hi Jen,Welcome to real estate!

I am also not averse to spending a little bit of money, though I want to keep it under control.I have a list of the top 25 best real estate markets of 2025 (YouTube guru, hah).

I am new into real estate investing and been interested in this for some time.
