It is deducted from the death benefit, but is it now taxable?

@Sunjeeve Weerasinghe we have moved entirly to vinyl plank in our properties (and so have a lot of major builders) as you can get commercial grade with 30+ year wear layers on them, they are water proof, do not chip (though they can be cut or torn) and are quite a bit cheaper than tile. 

Remember: cheaper doesn't mean you'll make more money.Start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.

Also it depends if you hire a company or if you are hiring a person and paying them hourly - the hourly cleaner will be cheaper, but there's more management involved on your side.I pay $120 per turn for a 2br condo.

So, it will reduce your net income and therefore your taxable income.

Without question, emphatically my ish ALWAYS comes out WAY cheaper.

I've looked into @Paul Moore's syndications, but I am not eligible yet as a fully accredited investor and even with that I would prefer to be an owner in one, not just an investor.I'm not an expert but I suspect it's probably the same as most investments: cheaper to BRRRR than to build new.

It's that lightbulb moment where you realize that even after paying the surcharge to pay a mortgage with a card, you still earn positive cashback, making your net interest rate on your mortgage effectively a negative percentage.  8% cashback - 3.5% pay by card surcharge = 4.5% free money, and considering my mortgage interest rate is 2.75, that effectively means I pay no mortgage interest and still earn 1.75% free cashback.And the best part is that this passive cashback is generally speaking not treated as taxable income.

Since Target arrived, you might be able to get milk cheaper. 

If you are new to investing and need help to fet started maybe a good course will give you a push in the right direction, but i think in this case  maybe there are better cheaper ways to first understand what the opportunity really is and if it is right for you and your goals/available resources .
