Boomers are using real estate to gift wealth, simplify estates, or 1031 into income-producing assets.

I have even grilled my own real estate attorney and paid his hourly rate just to see if I could get something out of him that I could bring back and use for my clients.At the end of the day I have found that there is no way to substantiate such allocations based merely off of a guarantee of debt unless one or more parties enters into a deficit restoration obligation.because so many investors and developers are risk-averse, a deficit restoration obligation is often times too much risk for them to take on an exchange for some depreciation, however, I still have numerous clients who are willing to take on that risk.

Utilizing an LLC also isolates the presumption that real estate acquired is ordinary income activity to the LLC, and not tracked to you personally, which can be important if you plan to hold other properties long term.

I am getting into Real Estate investing but am a rookie looking to connect, learn, network, and pick up any lessons along the way. 

Hi Wayne, welcome to real estate. 

Rapidly.Here are 3 trends I’m watching closely as a full-time investor and community wealth builder:1️⃣ AI & Automation in Deal Analysis — Tools like PropWire are removing the guesswork2️⃣ Rooming House Models — Solving the housing crisis and boosting ROI3️⃣ Investors as Educators — Buyers and communities want transparency and purposeWhy it matters:The real estate industry isn’t just about bricks and mortar anymore — it's about impact.

I have a random question when it comes to property taxes.

When they say they're interested then ask them questions about their home.

If you don't give your contractors a detailed SOW telling them exactly what they should include in their bids, the prices will likely vary substantially because their SOW will be completely different.For example, in your post you asked a bunch of generic questions, which aren't specific enough for anyone to answer:How much should a roof cost? 

I would love to connect with other Christian real estate investors and hear how you do (or plan to) use real estate investing as a way to bring God glory.
