Since it's almost the end of the year, I wanted to focus our question on ideas and strategies that can help us make last minute changes to help lessen the tax burden, or to start the year with best practices.Let's help our community with our best legally allowed options to save on taxes.

I’ve heard an analogy when it comes to weight loss and fitness.

This gives you an idea as to the ‘”weight” land value has against Total Equity.Your 2nd post indicates that you are considering working with a development firm that “works off the equity of the land” and that you are waiting for preliminary plans from 2 parties.

With that being said, I am not an attorney nor a judge and I understand my determination holds no weight however, how can the attorneys/court system comfortably take this long to check what seems to be such an simple matter.

I'm not used to things being easy especially because of my first and favorite sport Boxing, when you're in that ring you have to learn quick and adjust accordingly ( trust me my resting weight is 170lb so at least for me it's rare that I spar someone at the same weight usually their lighter which means faster, or heavier which means stronger ), that being said i'm also not used to things being handed to me, but recently i've been blessed with the opportunity to receive 100% funding on my next Fix and Flip deal.

You can depreciate your house and lessen any tax implications.

A good client that does this is worth their weight in gold. 

Yes, you may be able to go high, but if you miss a week, two weeks, or even a month trying to fish for more rent, the cost of vacancy will out-weight getting it filled quickly at the lower, competitive pricing.3a.

@Lara WhiteA fellow investor and I compared Indy, Greensboro NC, Greensville SC, and Columbus OH with different metrics and different weights on those metrics.

I would buy stock following the value investing strategy followed by the Warren Buffet etc.Real Estate has that benefit of control over the assetSO i guess both would do, its just a question of weighting -95% real estate-5% stocks for example
