With/off

Are these okay:

Are you making money off of your properties in Houston?

And

Are you making money with your properties in Houston?

  

Top answer

The combination "off of" is horrible and always unnecessary, in my opinion. Just use "off". However, in this particular case "off" is not very good English anyway.
