Luckily this was a super cheap property so I could afford the additional down payment.

@Eric Lowe Prior to pulling the trigger on a Cost Seg study, you should evaluate 2 things:1 - How much net additional deprecation tax deductions a Cost Seg study would provide: Best way to get this is by requesting a free feasibility analysis from a Cost Seg provider.

I have an offer in on a property setup exactly the same with big house in front and a little additional unit.

In addition, real estate is already tax advantaged, so you’re losing the tax advantages of owning real estate.Personally, I think real estate notes are better suited for self directed IRAs personally because you can get decent returns and notes not held in IRA is not tax advantaged. 

Proc. 2018-58, 2018-50 IRB 990 (Dec. 10, 2018), that are due to be performed on or after Oct. 5, 2024, and before May 1, 2025, are granted additional time to file through May 1, 2025." the 45 day identification deadline is extended because Rev.

So even if the cash flow is only 3% or 4% cash on cash, that’s enough to provide a protective layer to cover unexpected items.To me, the cash flow is NOT to put spendable cash in my pocket NOW but rather keep the property self supporting while it increases in value over the long term.In addition, every property a purchase has a cash reserve fund - call it my rainy day fund or my Sominex account (ie I can sleep at night knowing if the furnace goes out I have $8,000 in my reserve fund to replace it.)One final note, I have found once one reaches a certain net worth, cash flow no longer is a concern, there is always as much cash flow as anyone wants.Final note, who will have more cash flow someone with $1M investible cash or $3M investible cash?

Also, I'd lease out the other bedrooms for additional income as well as practice screening, leasing, and interpersonal comms.  

Additionally, as the note own you could approve a potential short sale on the table, whether yours or not.

There are also additional costs of operating and maintaining an LLC, like separate bank accounts, annual report filings, tax filings, etc.2.

I know that @John Underwood for example provides TV in addition to streaming at some of his places.
