However, I am back on here with a different view in mind.I have a career and work in technology but have always felt like real estate offered a great path to “bigger pockets”, pun intended.

They are good for long distance because of their technology and attention to detail. 

Paying taxes sucks, but not being able to get another mortgage because you lied in order to save a few grand a year is worse.

We are doing a green concept that will use solar energy, geothermal HVAC, and ground water technology.

@Mike Field Call Basement Technologies - the 1-800 busy dog company.I was just in a home they waterproofed and it seemed like they did a good job.

Numbers dont lie . 

I believe this trend will continue as the age of homeowners that are familiar with technology increases.I highly suggest you hedge your bets against agents becoming unpopular and figure out a way to invest intelligently.

Why not lie and say your only living in it for 3.5%?

I bought a 3 unit while still owing 15k I went from 700$ a month in rent I was lying to have a tiny bedroom in a small condo To collecting 2300 on a 1600 mortgage/taxes/insurance So ya I think I made the right choice

Usually the kid lies to parents, then parents are mad at landlord.
