My 21 year old son literally has worked 2 months at w2 in his life making very little money (at pet boarding place) but has over $200k from entrepreneur and side hustles that he has creatively recognized.   

They stole thousands from a colleague.

It's so tiring to keep having to go back and forth with their fragility when there is literally no reason for any of us to answer them unless we are trying to help them.

But between you paying down your mortgage, plus the tax write offs, plus market appreciation it sets you up for having tens of thousands of dollars in tax free gains when you eventually sell it.  

Keep buying SMART.There are literally TRILLIONS of cash dollars laying around in the BIG BANKS, businesses, etc.

This will get you experience in remodels and much lower down side than a normal flip because you are literally living in the house (so you know exactly what is going on and 0 travel time) and you are utilizing a low down payment, low rate program like a VA loan.

With 30% down your options are thousands of lenders.Why is it unwarrantable- master policy not enough coverage; low occupancy rate; HOA reserves; cannot be rebuilt or repaired; pending lawsuit in the less than 10 year after built for construction defect; flood zone with no flood policy...?

There are thousands of (nauseating) posts (ads) on this subject.

After looking at hundreds of thousands of dollars in suspended passive losses, I'm planning to provide substantial services on my next house hack.

Look at real estate professional status closely, this area of the tax code(section 469) is where I think If you worked with the right real estate-focused accountant you could save 100s of thousands of dollars.
