By all means disagree, argue, debate, but name calling is a sign you have exhausted your intellect.Second, @Dan Heuschele, I agree with some of your posts, but have no idea why you posted them.

I’m debating whether or not to furnish my one-bedroom condo in downtown Austin.

For the would-be investors that have been debating real estate forever, I often suggest either a house hack or buying an already tenant occupied single family home that cash flows with professional management.

Please take 10 minutes and take action by writing your elected representatives (regardless of what side of the debate you fall on this).

Interest MAY be a deduction on Form 4952"If we're talking about Sec. 212 investment / income-producing property - then no debate.

I have espresso cabinets, I don’t know what the trends are, I’m debating going with a light stain, but I guess if I were to sell the home I want to go with a stain that might bring higher value, or more buyers.

We debated stone counters but being conservative with our money on our first investment property and not wanting to overspend versus comparables in our neighborhood ( yet still wanting a nice look), we ended up going with marble-look laminate counter tops from Ikea.

I was debating on putting a bunch of 20% down on investments, but I would rather buy cash, renovate, rent, refinance, and repeat. 

We are still debating doing one LLC or if my boyfriend and I should create an LLC and our friend creates his own.
