If I Refi this into my personal will I create the taxable event?

Cheaper does not mean better.

Hi Dawn, sent you a PM.Scottsdale is definitely a good place to be in if possible but there are definitely other areas you can get into for a cheaper price point in Mesa, Glendale, Tempe, etc. 

The average age of the number 1 single family home owner is greater than 2010 and less than 15 years old and they are now building homes new construction and owning them. the exact opposite of your strategy. older homes are the cheaper ones and unless you have experience I'd build in columbus close to downtown. same reason Toledo and Cleveland don't move the needle and there aren't 100 institutions in those markets. columbus is barely on the radar. 

For example, someone told me I can get cabinets replaced by going to Lowes and they will install them cheaper?

You may want to research now how the country taxes different types of investments(Equity, bonds, real estate, etc)That can tell you potentially what investments to have.The issue with potentially becoming a US citizen is that they will tax you on worldwide income.Therefore, if you get the citizenship and move out of the US, you may want to see if you would be exposed to US taxes, whether you will want to move back to the US and if you want to renounce your US citizenship.I agree that if you are not sure of living in the US, you may want to avoid doing items such as having a large balance in a retirement account that may be considered taxable by another country when you retire.Best of luck

I am not sure why people are saying Buildium is expensive when it is cheaper than QBO Plus.My client went from QBO Advanced to Buildium with my suggestion and I helped him it setup.

My repair work would not be any cheaper if I called a handyman to do the little stuff.  

Cash flow and taxable income are separate calculations.

Now, I'm looking to venture into real estate investment for several reasons:Diversify my investment portfolioBuild generational wealthLower my taxable incomeMy Investment Criteria:Buy and Hold Strategy: I'm focused on long-term investments.Cash Flow: Not a priority for me; I don’t need the income from these properties, even in retirement.Acquisition Pace: I plan to acquire one or two properties per year.
