Given your husband’s high W-2 income, the tax savings from qualifying as active could be significant, allowing you to offset his income with potential rental losses.

I work out of my basement and have been trying to find a location near me that rents out individual offices.

Owner occ developments there is no value associated to the income approach so these props generally speaking will appreciate a lot more as the neighborhoods are much more desirable. builders the last thing they want to do is sell to investors if they are creating owner occupied communities.. rentals degrade the neighborhood and they will be sabotaging their own values to allow a bunch of investors to buy and rent out in their communities.So when you buy new builds keep in mind if its a build to rent community they will NOT appreciate like owner occupied neighborhoods.. might be best to find something already 3 to 5 years old where the stigma of renters dies down.. that would be best to protect your investment.

Yes the penalties are high, so if people think they might be selling when they renew their mortgage, they get an open rate mortgage that allows them to sell with less of a penalty than a closed rate mortgage. 

This allowed us to close quickly and focus on adding value.

1) We make sure backside funds are confirmed at title before we initiate frontside wire.2) Our agreement that we get the wholesaler to sign essentially would allow us to secure a loan against the property if for whatever reason there was an issue (as never happened).3) We generally insist that both the A-B and the B-C contract are at the same title company.

This will allow you to qualify solely based on the income that is produced from the rent of the property.
