I will leave you with this conclusion to my post, the reason I personally pursue loans as a vehicle for investment is because I simply love the complexity and the amount of moving pieces that are involved.

However, you cannot create a loss with such a deduction so lets assume the S-Corp only had $12k profit & the qualifying vehicle was $20k.

maybe a vehicle, boat, motorcycle, equity in something???

Pick one investment vehicle and focus on it.

He bought a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) or Quad Copter with a GoPro camera attached.

After all, if they liquidate their assets, they would be subject to a hefty capital gains tax, and, they would be pulling their assets out of an income bearing vehicle.

I think its more people choosing Real Estate specifically as a investment vehicle thats contributing to the problem.

If it's a misunderstanding, I would do many drive bys at different times to monitor vehicles and see if you can get clues on who is living there.

They are generally around $150-$250 per year (depending on if you have youthful drivers, how many vehicles, homes, etc.) and although it's probable that you'll never use it, it's well worth the investment if it's ever needed.If you already have a personal umbrella, and you do purchase a property in your own name, be sure that your agent adds the rental property to the umbrella policy so coverage is extended to that risk.

I have been reading and listening to podcasts about real estate investing for the better part of the last two years and can see clearly why so many people use this as a vehicle to achieve financial freedom.
