I think people look at real estate the wrong way and want the loss to offset their W-2 income.The first and most benefit goal with real estate is that your cash flow and appreciation is not taxed.if you are making 8% from cash-flow and appreciation and it is not taxed, imagine how quickly your wealth can grow.If you can offset the rental loss with your income income, that is just icing on the cake.

I have seen these terrible scams they are running now that a lot of people have so much equity in there home but after Covid I’d imagine many people have credit issues but these company pretend like they are giving you access to equity in your home but they are actually buying your home and renting it back to you.

It's a gamble doing this, but a great way to start... but imagine your renter bailing on you after a few months - can you afford to carry the place for a month or two?

Solar does not last very long- the panels are glass so imagine if you have high winds, hail, intense weather.
