If someone is working with a lower balance of funds like I am, than I'm more likely to prefer cashflow so that I can continue to afford the property as well as my life style.If I had some disposable income that was in excess of what I need to live on, than I'm more inclined to look forward towards appreciation because I would have enough wealth to take the hit now for the bigger payment in the future. 

Investors - I have 25+ years of public accounting experience in the real estate space at your disposal.

When they say 1% each for acquisition, management, and disposal, what is that 1% of?

Make sure you leave that new LLC as a disregarded entity, or if you bring investors on with you, make sure it’s taxed as a partnership (subject to Subchapter K).The only way to mitigate cap gains would be if the property appraised very close to its net tax basis.The other strategy at your disposal is to dissolve the S-Corp in the same year (though you really need to be in-line with your CPA on this one)… you should have more tax basis post- deemed sale, and that basis would help you achieve a capital loss on dissolution of your corporation.Talk to your CPA my friend!!

Gains through crypto felt uncertain to me but still had a draw, so I decided I wouldn't use more than 5% of my disposable income to gamble (whether on leveraged index funds like QLD or crypto).

There is so much material at your disposal for doing due diligence into a neighborhood online.

If you're investing blind then you have a multiple of disposable income or have no fear of loss.

How much disposable income do you have right now?

See "Renting Part of Property" in IRS Publication 527:https://www.irs.gov/publications/p527#en_US_2023_publink1000... this situation, you have not disposed of Property A.
