Warning:If you depreciate a property down near zero and then have to sell your property at a loss during a situation of distress...You could end up giving all the proceeds to the bank AND owe the IRS a big chunk of money for recapture.Long-term tax planning with real estate needs to be coupled with risk management and making sure you don't lose any properties.

Hi Marcusjust look at meetup.com and search for real estate.

My career has been centered around helping businesses scale through strategic sales initiatives, but I’m now channeling that same drive into real estate investing to build long-term wealth.My wife and I are in our early 40s, both work full-time, and are raising four amazing kids.

Quote from @Taylor Dasch: AI is super helpful in my business as an investor and as a real estate agent.

@Chris LauerRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Real estate has long been the foundation of lasting wealth, proven by historical and modern moguls alike.

Quote from @Clive Duncan: I'm not sure if this forum is still active, but I'm looking to chat with a few real estate investors in Ontario who may be interested in raising funds by selling fractional shares of their property.My co-founder and I are doing some market research so we need to talk to some folks to gather more insights before building this out.If this interests you or someone you know, please reach out.

I'm not super familiar with the real estate market in Couer d'alene like I am with East Idaho or even southern Idaho or the Treasure valley.

Wishing you success on your real estate journey!
