Even facebook might have some good local groups for you.

View of the world- stock market, US debt load, China as a supplier, wars, Fiat currency status, personal job status, etc.  

I'm already part of a few Facebook groups, but I'm also open to chatting or catching up over a phone call.

The key with the real estate professional status is to make sure you materially participate in your rentals.

Hey everyone, quick question—does anyone know if a company owner with an I-220A Status can get a hard money loan to buy a property?

I expect my income to be around $200,000 this year, so at the marginal tax bracket I am in I expect a $15-20K savings on my taxes.Things to Keep in Mind: 1) Right now we are at 60% bonus depreciation, meaning 60% of the depreciable assets can be deducted "all the way" this year. 2) The true gains from this come if you are in real estate tax professional status.

i go to modest we meet up every month we also have an roi group on facebook with more info

Hey everyone,This is my first year seriously trying to qualify for Real Estate Professional (REP) status and I’m realizing how tedious it is to log hours.

One guy that I chatted with in a Facebook group said that he didn't interfere with their process for the first 2 wks.

This can be especially powerful if you qualify for Real Estate Professional Status (REPS), Short-Term Rental (STR) classification, or Active Participation, since those statuses can allow you to offset W-2 or business income with real estate losses.So whether you’re thinking short-term resale or long-term rental, the basement gives you some nice flexibility from both an investment and tax angle.This post does not create a CPA-client relationship.
