Does anyone have advice on how I might accelerate my growth?

@Aaron Lemoine, the loan you have has in it whats called the "acceleration clause" which means if you transfer title to the property, they can make the remaining balance of the loan due immediately.

Team,I’m entering into a new realm with investing and looking to offset other sources of income with cost segregation combined with accelerated depreciation from real estate professional filing status.

I don't plan on ever holding or mortgaging the property especially since it won't cashflow.In my this sounds like a pretty straightforward play given the steady growth of the area's tech sector which I believe will actually be accelerated given a lot of tech companies are looking to open satelite offices in Canada due to the encouraging adoption of remote work, cheaper and abundant tech talent and uncertainty of american immigration causing a lot talent to move to Canada.The biggest risk I see is whether or not the specific property I buy will be in demand in 3 years:Who are the demographics that will actually be buying homes… not the 22-24 year old coming out of school and working at a tech companies but perhaps the late 20s to 30s folks who are settling with a partner and kids.

Experts say the pandemic is less the cause of the decline in luxury rents and more an accelerant of forces already in motion in L.A.’s economy.

I'm a major advocate of running all purchases through a HELOC and using a HELOC to accelerate Mortgage pay down.

This would certainly accelerate my plans for financial freedom!

Finding a mentor can help accelerate your business a lot when you're first starting out.

As far as the solar goes, it's one or the other - 26% ITC or accelerated depreciation.
