I accept the need for a competent PM and the reality that competence typically ain't cheap.

The "cash flow on paper" in reality is -$300 to -$500 most months for one house (sold the other house).

There are realities about making money that apply to lending and Cash Flow.  

The reality is a lot harder than some books make it sound like.

The other issue is the changing laws.. we see this in the how to wholesale houses course.. reality is in Many states its just plain illegal to do what the how to wholesale gurus teach.. just is.. but no one wants to hear that until they get turned in that is. 

Right Amit, this problem is actually a simple mathematic equition:one wants to swap a lesser performing rental with the more performing investment.The problem is since the performance is set by market, thus the problem is becoming:one wants to swap a less performing single/MF rental property in specific regional to a regional syndication economy that's more performing.In reality, these are difficult as the home price is rising and rent growth for SFR is higher than the growth of apartment/multifamily complexes esp. if it's class A property.Solution ?

While I do not have an official W-2 currently, I do have a steady income, great credit, and have money saved as well from working since I was 13 years old.I relate to Ian Kay in his journey but also am very determined to make my goals/dreams a reality this year by July 2025.

Looking for various tax strategies to reduce the reality that a large RV or boat is a grossly depreciating assetI would not have a loan, so claiming it as a primary or secondary residence and claiming the mortgage deduction is not applicable.I sold my primary residence and I have several rental properties which I use as I'm fixing them up.What I'm pondering is living aboard and working aboard developing a new product, while traveling.
