Can you please explain why can I only depreciate 25-30%?

I joined a small local meetup in Atlanta and the operators there explained things in a way books never did.

You shouldn't have to explain it.Self-managing is just straight liability and an awful exchange of time.

If they can’t clearly explain the difference, that’s a sign they don’t truly specialize in the space.Also, I’d throw in a simple trick question to see how deep their understanding is:“Can I keep my bookkeeping for my real estate agent business and my real estate investments in the same workbook?”

If I gave the tenant 90 days’ notice prior to lease expiration and explained the rent is adjusting toward market because of improvements and general costs — does that seem fair and reasonable in your experience?

Look, I have nightmare stories with contractors and I explained the GC hustle on here before.

Clearly did an hour consult with me and explained it all.

For lending, focus on resources that clearly explain how DSCR loans, portfolio loans, balloons, and recourse vs. non-recourse work in practice.Courses can be helpful, but the best ones walk you through real numbers, deal flow, and lending scenarios, not just theory.
