You could look into forming a C Corp as an alternative way to own this property that could affect your tax returns differently, I am not a CPA or giving tax advise.

I've gathered more knowledge than I can implement with all the BP content and other materials, lol.

It could impact your home equity and financial security.For a safer and more specialized alternative, consider a Fix & Flip loan. 

Hi Ben, I'm way new to this and I'm not as far along as you are, but I wanted to say I can relate to feeling alternately encouraged and then like my dreams might be unattainable.

But, I am not willing to commit to 50 years (if I am lucky) of never harvesting material equity from my rental properties at this time so that she can inherit potentially millions or tens of millions of 2074 dollars at stepped up basis.I plan to pay the tax man and spend some of my money at some point.

The appraised equity rarely materializes on a sale in these markets but the appraisals offer false impressions of the "asset" that was acquired.

Alternatively, if you leave your paycheck in your checking account earning .01% interest, there is no real benefit.  

The floor of a deal killer has no bounds, you could be wrecked for eternity if it's a material deal.

I would focus on credit, consider some alternative options to "free your Benjamins" out of your home, or even consider doing a partial sale of your home to give you capital to get back at it!

Little paint and the contractor I found let me buy the material and only charged me labor.
