We are looking at the compound asset acquisition and also using the short term rental loophole for our future properties and likely moving my wife into the real estate professional position while I remain at my W2 position.To sum it up, I would like to know what higher income W2 earners are doing in order to help offset their W2 taxes or if there is a way? 

However, I am also considering duplex and tri-/quad-plex assets if they pencil.Additionally, I currently work for a locally-based commercial developer/lender on multifamily, land, and some hospitality projects.

I have several different loan products but my most popular one is the new joint venture product that hasn't been out very long.

The loan amount itself is going to be a main issue for most lenders at ~$150,000 value, let alone finding a niche product. 

Less oversupply with that product type and more renters that were renting the more expensive bigger cabins are choosing the lesser ones because they love the area but don't want to spend as much on rent.We've talked with several long time investors out there and there isn't a one that have held on to their cabins over time that aren't still adding more. 

The process involves deeding the property to a land trust and then assigning the beneficial interest of the trust to an LLC for asset protection purposes.2.

Initially they said they would make payments to me and crap like they have millions in assets, just no liquid assets. 

Quote from @Doug Smith: When we started this company, I had been a special assets officer (handling non-performing loans for banks trying to extricate them from the deals with as little damage to them as possible) during the last big crash.

This is limiting my options.I have never utilized the multifamily lending products offered by Fannie, Freddie, etc., so I would be interested to a) hear other BP members' lender recommendations for this sized property and also b) other members' experiences working with Fannie, Freddie, etc.  

The numbers seem pretty fair.. 40k down, 900k asset,  all rented out, 7.5k GR with room to increase,  5.7k PITI, no balloon payment.
