Combined, the Fed and Congress (with 2 Presidents) busted out the printing press and went HAM. $10 Trillion later, inflation took off like starship.

Because of material participation I can deduct that $350k vs other income.Using combined federal and state tax rate of 40% x $350k = $140k in immediate tax savings.

All adults who wish to live there must apply and pay app fees (it makes us money, but there is a cost to run background/credit checks too, so I would at least charge something, it also means the person applying is more serious)3x rent combined verifiable income of applicants.
