@Joseph HenryIt works the same on an adjustable rate mortgage - if you pay extra it reduces the principal balance

Most of the landlord unfriendly laws like rent control etc. end up reducing supply, contributing to a supply/demand imbalance and increasing appreciation potential while reducing turnover.

Increase your cash flow and wealth and reduce overhead and management time. 

@Pretty Khare As Ruben and John mentioned above, you can utilize a cost segregation study on your STR property to reduce taxable income (or create a taxable loss) to offset against your W2 income, but you need to ensure you are following the IRS guidelines very carefully.

(i.e. labor, materials, etc) What are the values of homes?

However, I have been trying to figure out possible creative financing options to build more without having to sell, but I cannot seem to find a lender willing to do 100% down on land and construction even though the LTV would be below 50% since I can basically build for costs of material plus minimal labor by doing almost all of it myself , with a little help here and there. 

Happy tenants are more likely to renew leases, reducing turnover costs and vacancies.Legal Compliance: Property managers ensure compliance with local, state, and federal laws, including regulations on rent control, fair housing, tenant rights, and eviction procedures.

If labor is cheaper inyour market,it could be less.Its also good to know what discount margin buyers are buying your market. 

I think you should work in the franchise like your father wants.Learn the business, what if you worked as many hours as you can, work 80 hours a week or even work 100 hours a week (child labor laws might limit this ????)

This was on Labor Day and I got a call from the neighbor with this picture.
