I have been trying toe get a list of the IRS discriminate function indicators to no avail so I'd like to know how you can say that home office no longer concerns IRS.I was just making the note that broad stroke for everyone to add spouse, kid etc to create a partnership has other considerations people need to be mindful of as well.

Jung,Welcome to the BP forum its a great time to start as mortgage rates fall and home prices still priced well in many states.

Well you can probably get around $70k out of your $300k property on a HELOC.

And yes, the income from renting is still taxable, but ideally you are offsetting a chunk of that with depreciation which is a non-cash expense.You should read Amanda Han and Matt MacFarland's books as well which are available in the BP Bookstore. https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/tax-strategies-book...

I am learning in the real estate business as well but in the Kentucky/Tennessee Market!

I wish you well in your real estate endeavors. 

Quote from @Havital Miltz: I do not know that if someone is in the hospital you can force them to close, I am not an attorney, but I doubt any court will find in your favor, closings do not always happen exactly on the day that is planned, even if everyone is healthy and well, the wholesaler here is not the reason for the delay so I am not sure what exactly you can sue him/her for, they are also being held up due to the seller not being wellJust give the person some time to get out of the hospital, closing will probably not happen the very next day either, this is really extenuating circumstance. 

(And for other brothers who might need it as well, just dm me.)Best of luck, bro!

@Travis TimmonsI had the same reaction as you did, but I held off on posting since I don't yet invest in STRs (I'm all LTR so far, and looking into my first MTR).Buying an STR "to offset income" makes me nervous as well...
