I’ve been doing rentals as a big law associate for a couple of years. Bigger Pockets books are phenomenal. Long Distance Real Estate Investing, The BRRRR Method, and their books on taxes are all good titles. For *very* high-level insight and inspiration (sad that I need to make the disclaimer so clear because of how much people like to diss Robert Kiyosaki), I found Rich Dad, Poor Dad and the Rich Dad YouTube channel quite helpful.

Get a good grasp of the tax concepts. The puzzle comes together there

QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

I’ve been fully utilized starting ~June, but first few months were slow. Am i fine?!
