In tenant screening especially, not all reports are created equal.

So now I’m looking for other routes — whether that’s reputable sources for Florida wholesale contracts, templates other investors trust, or tips for building your own with an attorney.I’d love to hear:- How did you find or create the contracts you use for assignments or double closings?

Avoid creating a spousal LLC unless advised by your attorney or CPA, since it can require a separate partnership return.

Hi everyone,I’m building a simple AI tool designed specifically for real estate agents to save time writing listing descriptions, social media posts, and client follow-up messages.Here’s what it does so far:- Instantly creates engaging, professional listing descriptions (MLS style, luxury, or casual tone)- Generates Instagram/Facebook captions for listings- Writes follow-up texts or emails after showings/open houses- Makes printable flyers or email invites for open houses (coming soon)I’m looking to get honest feedback from agents: - Would you use a tool like this? 

For most people, it’s cleaner to use the $500K exclusion, pay tax on the rest, and then look at reinvesting into rentals or other assets that generate new depreciation.Pros of using a DST for your situation:- Potential to defer 100% of the gain above $500K- Diversify into passive investments through the trust- Create a structured income stream- May allow estate planning advantages if structured properlyCons:- You lose direct control of the funds- Ongoing trustee and legal fees ($10K to $15K setup plus annual 1 to 1.5% management)- IRS scrutiny risk, DSTs aren’t directly defined in the Code; they rely on private letter rulings and case law- Complexity: You must close through a third-party trustee before receiving funds- Hard to partially use DST and retain liquidity, usually an all-or-some approach....This post does not create a CPA-client relationship.

What I wrote above does not create an attorney/client relationship between us.

This creates a formal lien, making it a financed purchase-even though there is no cash change in hands.Once property is appraised, I apply for a cash out refinance.

Money printing...plain and simple...which created massive inflation driving up prices and interest rates. 

I’ve found that combining appreciation potential with steady rental income creates a strong long-term balance.

COVID created a chaotic spike in both the sale & rental markets, attracting even more new real estate investors.
