Please give me some guidance. 

I understand this will be a long journey requiring significant capital, strategy, and time, but I’d love guidance on how to start moving in that direction.I’m a 23-year-old college graduate with a degree in Finance, and I have completed a Real Estate Finance course that introduced me to underwriting and the fundamentals of the industry.

I do my search and feel that Manchester, Liverpool , and Birmingham as most likely areas I can invest in , My goal is to have good houses "Single famliy" with good prices that can establish a good cash flow as passive income.For sorry I do not live in any of those ares, I know them from EPL and try to do the research based on income and thier share in UK GDP , for sure london is the best but I can not handle the prices there.Based on my reasech I can classigy them as follow : Manchester is the best in , Birmingham , and then liverpool.I see Liverpool houses is more but rent to prices ratio is low .I need your insights on this with your valuable advise , considering the area I choose , I will keep investing on it and enlarge my protfolio in it for the next 10 years.

I’m looking to connect with others who have experience — whether that’s lenders who can walk me through financing options, investors who are already using the BRRRR strategy, or mentors willing to share their guidance on best practices. 

Hello,
 
I’m actively pursuing a duplex property in Columbia, SC, to utilize an FHA loan (3.5% down) for house hacking. The plan is to reside in one unit while renting out the other. However, I’m encountering challeng...

Personal use, mixed-use items, or home office mistakes are common pitfalls.Retirement or education credits: These are often oversimplified on social media, and claiming them incorrectly can lead to huge penalties.The IRS has sophisticated systems to catch improper claims, and relying on viral tips instead of professional guidance can be very costly.

I’ve studied the basics and have some experience, but my biggest challenge is connecting with the right lenders and property management companies to make it work smoothly from a distance.Does anyone here know of a good Section 8–focused mentor/coach who can work one-on-one or provide guidance?

Short-term rentals (STR) can be a valuable strategy, but they require strict compliance with IRS standards.It is essential that you:Maintain contemporaneous logs of hours spent on management, operations, and decision-making.Document material participation (e.g., booking management, repairs, advertising, tenant communication), as the IRS may closely scrutinize these claims.Keep supporting evidence such as receipts, invoices, emails, or calendars, which can strengthen your position.Differentiate personal use vs. rental use of the property to avoid reclassification issues.Understand potential recharacterization risks—without proper substantiation, the IRS could reclassify your STR income as passive, resulting in additional taxes, penalties, and accrued interest.Review annually with a tax advisor/EA to ensure your activities align with current regulations and to optimize deductions (e.g., depreciation, repairs vs. improvements, start-up costs).Failure to follow these requirements can significantly weaken your position in case of an audit.

Would appreciate any advice or guidance you can provide. 

Sounds like your service will be valuable!
