@Lillian Pintaro - you are correct for high end MFH here. 

However, there's a critical detail that many tax advisors conveniently overlook when promoting these studies.Here's the uncomfortable truth: If you're a high-income earner (AGI > $150,000) and not actively managing your properties, those promised tax savings might be locked away for years.

Have you explored any potential house hack opportunities in NY, or is the price threshold too high to tackle, and thus, you are considering Columbus? 

I recently watched a video where Troy Kearns mentioned he could source a high-quality quartz slab for $100 from China, which got me thinking about exploring similar options.Has anyone here ever imported materials like hardwood floors, countertops, or tiles from China for a project?

Take pics of all the junk (I mean high class heirlooms, which is what you'll say in the ad) and put it on craigslist asking for offers.

You can also expect increasing HOA fees, and there may be some problems renting a property inside a difficult.You don't have any experience, prices are at an all-time high, and rates are also high. 

Will high Income earners get hit hard in NYC?

I highly agree that coaching or even just joining a group that can help you learn the ins and outs, is worth every dollar.

Buying in a high COLA with loss protection is a no-brainer in my book, but only if you expect to relo again.

I see many people saying oh it is just $100 but as I said it adds up pretty fast and in reality, it is way more than a $100 difference as the price of insurance is going up very high.
