When I graduated college I went through this exact tradeoff... was living rent-free or I could househack and own a place that builds equity, but I would need to put into it every month. 

If you read my previous post, I emphasized the importance of showing up for the right keywords.

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

I am an investor friendly General Contractor in the Bryan / College Station, Texas area and would love to connect with investors for their next remodel / rehab project.

My spouse and I bought 2 smaller apartment buildings with a total of 14 units with a partner a few years after I was out of college.

The area I was in was a heavy medical and college district. 

What a lot of people think:Bonus depreciation is only for new properties or acquisitions.The truth:You can retroactively apply bonus depreciation to property placed in service after September 27, 2017, when the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed changing various rules.The IRS allows you to claim missed depreciation deductions by adjusting your current year's tax return, without needing to amend the previous year's returns.This is typically done through a change in accounting method using IRS Form 3115.

We play games called, "lets show the property to a perspective tenant" and "lets go to closing together" and "lets deposit money in your bank account" and "lets review your college fund investments".

I used it when managing 150 units for a previous employer, and it's incredibly efficient.

I’m new here and didn’t see all the previous messages.
