I have a unique perspective.

In that case, my advice is to try to find a property as unique as possible as the competition for rentals is going to get even more intense given the huge amount of supply that's going to hit the market in the coming years.When it comes to Mexico, I'm first and foremost an investor.

Hi everyone, A bit of a unique situation.

Even if the designs are truly eye catching and unique, I suspect a business based on tiny homes will be unprofitable unless conceived in a booming city that has a surplus of small lots and people ready to change their lives for a real reason like surviving property costs.

However, like other tax rules each situation is unique to each individual and there are regulations that must be followed for the deduction to be applicable.What is an Investment Interest Expense?

In general, travel for business(education, networking) is deductible if you are already in a trade or business(I.E. have a rental, flip).There are unique rules to deduct foreign travel costs.attendees may have a more difficult time writing off the cost of the trip if they add significant vacation days(no business) before or after the trip.However, you can plan properly to make the trip 100% deductible.

Is this unique to Texas where I own the properties and the LLC?
