Hi all - I’m looking for your FAVORITE FI or FIRE books / pods / resources & bonus points for author diversity.

Rather than focusing on whether someone has a $3M portfolio or a $50M portfolio, I have found it more accurate to think in terms of sophisticated vs. unsophisticated investors because someone with a $3M portfolio could still be sophisticated and have other business dealings that are a more significant allocation of their time and resources.

I was wondering if anyone would mind sharing the resources that come with it when you buy it from Bigger Pockets?

When a single property is split and only part of it is sold, the original purchase cost has to be allocated between the portion sold and the portion kept.

My co-host said to allocate $3k for inspection and to address the findings to be safe and hope it is closer to $2k.  

Hello,I am wondering is there any remote flipping resources/services available for investors without necessarily involved in JV in any market areas in USA?

An appraisal can be worth it if the county’s 45% land allocation seems high, because land isn’t depreciable and an inflated land value reduces your cost-seg benefit.

That’s exactly what tax planning is for, to take all those variables into account so you can know exactly how much you can save.For a $1M STR, you could assume 20–25% cost segregation, 15–25% land allocation based on county assessor data, and apply the current bonus depreciation percentage to the depreciable basis, then multiply by the high-earning spouse’s marginal tax rate.

Some key things to focus on:How depreciation worksWhat counts as deductible expensesHow interest, repairs, and rehab are treatedHow refinancing can give you tax-free moneyAs for FasterFreedom, they’re popular and helpful for beginners, but it’s always smart to cross-check what you hear with objective sources.If you want more structured guidance, I can point you to free, easy-to-follow resources that break down real estate taxes in a way that's easier to understand.
