James Vasquez Councial Glenn's Land Entitlement JV Program (Honest Review)
19 May 2025 | 0 replies
However, I found out the hard way, that just because someone seems to be a trustworthy expert in the field, does not mean they are a good person to do business with.About 6 months ago, I contact Councial Glenn on Facebook and he explained that he had a course, but that it would be better that I join his JV Partner Program, where I'd get the course, and he would agree to work with me to source Land Entitlement deals and negotiate them for me. 
Josh Cocker W2 Tax With Holding Advice, house hack
9 June 2025 | 5 replies
Passive losses can only offset passive income—they don’t reduce your W-2 income in most cases.So while your duplex rental may generate losses on paper, they won’t reduce the amount of tax withheld from your W-2 unless:You qualify as a real estate professional, orYou materially participate in a short-term rental under 7-day average stays, orYou have other passive income to offset.What to do instead:Don’t stop your W-2 withholding entirely unless you’ve worked with a CPA to confirm a significantly reduced tax liability.If your rental qualifies under STR or REPS, then yes—depreciation and losses can offset W-2 income, and you might reduce withholding.Otherwise, you can still update your W-4 to fine-tune your withholdings slightly if you tend to overpay and get large refunds, but be conservative.Run a midyear tax projection with a real estate CPA who understands REPS, STR, and passive loss rules.

S. Lamont Long term lurker, first time poster.
17 June 2025 | 20 replies
A well-thought-out approach helps avoid investments that seem ‘safe’ at first but come with hidden challenges down the road.I have bought rentals with very high cashflow returns (45% on paper), only to have more hassle, higher costs, underperforming, and a difficult time disposing of them which eventually sold at even or a slight loss as compared to when I purchased them.
