Future land appreciation in this area might outweigh any tax benefits from buying in other areas, with a better (tax-wise) ratio.Before pursuing your plan, talk to a real estate accountant to figure out if you can, in fact, benefit from cost segregation.

So, once more, please clarify how many lenders we work with and how much we charge for them to buy our leads (hint hint, there is no answer here as this is not how we work).

Things they did bad which I wish I had asked more information about:Never involved in the screening of tenantsThey recommended keys for cash by waiving the rent amount buy only collecting fees which they would get not meThe cost to evict is 750-950 yet other companies told me they will include eviction in the priceThe tenant didnt pay in full last month and I was the one calling out to them and asking questions then a few days later I get an email saying something happened with the tenant and they are investigating.You get passed from person to person every week or so.No one told me when the construction was complete and so the house was ready for a week and the post to zillow and other sites was not done.It took them another week to take pictures and then another week to upload it.I was paying 200 dollar a month electric bills while the house was vacant because they left the AC running in the empty property.

We are buying two houses right next to each other.

Dscr will be useful in the future for fixer uppers and unique buys. 

So, you are not at limiting your self when buying a new property.

Groovy @Stephanie Medina good luck and keep us posted on your progress.These sorts of things are problems that no one really things about when buying a property and it is something that should be in their mind.

You can make more through co-living in most markets, but still likely to be better off house hacking 1 / year and then buy out of state with your extra cash.If you want to chat strategy with someone - feel free to PM me or reach out to contact info in my bio!

That will buy you some time to get more capital together, and you know that money will be used to perform the job.
