Are there any tax benefits from donating this land? 

Over a weekend, with help from relatives, we gutted the interior.

The facts are the same as in Example 1, except that B's child turns 13 on February 1, 2008, and B pays for the care provided in January 2008 on February 3, 2008... ...the amount B pays will be an employment-related expense under section 21, because B's child is a qualifying individual when the services are performed, even though the child is not a qualifying individual when B pays the expenses.So we CAN, after all, claim expense up to the birthday day!

This means you'll want to "write off" expenses related to a property you have in service because if those expenses don't benefit you this year they could in the future once you sell the property.We can get into a lot more details with the "if" "and" or "buts" BUT I think this would be the "simplest" answer without diving into your specific situation here.I hope this helps! 

Most are relatively the same.

I have good connections in the industry, and have a close relative who is a real-estate agent in the area.

The goal here is to align with investors and educate them about the benefits of long-term strategies.

For additional context, here’s a snapshot of our financial situation:We’re paying the mortgage on our primary residence.We have one car with ongoing payments.I anticipate it could take up to three months to find a new job.I’ve already applied for unemployment benefits (in PA) and am waiting for approval.I’d greatly appreciate any advice or insights.

I could certainly see the benefit of using them as a correspondent to take you out of deals..

Investors can always benefit from working with someone who knows how to align opportunities with specific strategies.Are there particular types of properties or investment strategies you’ve seen gaining traction in the Seattle area lately?
