The brokerage should be very glad to have you onboard.I'm looking forward to your future posts as you share your success. 

Moreover, it allows you to set the terms of the lease agreement according to your preferences, which can help prevent misunderstandings and disputes in the future. 

Not sure of housing in 2025 and future.

When I learned about the situation, I knew I wanted to help preserve the family property and also create a solid investment for my future.

But any depreciation amount beyond that can be carried over to future years. 

It is something I am interested in doing in the future, potentially even this year, but I am curious how to put concrete numbers to this decision.  

. - Taxes are on the higher side at $6,000 yearMy Numbers: $115,000 putting 20% of my money $23,000 and finance the rest with total expense of $1,834Monthly expense numbers: Future Maintenance 13% $273 - Vacancy 5% $105 - Property Insurance 5% $105 - Property Taxes 23% $500 - Property management 10% $215 - Office/Travel/Legal 4% $84 - Mortgage 26% $552 - Monthly Cash Flow - $316 per month or $3,792 per year so Cash on Cash = 17%I think this looks like it is a deal worth doing and I also believe I can bump the total rent up by $50 each tenant which I think make it even better.

I would consider doing a portfolio loan in the future but for now thats not necessary.

If you're considering Real Estate as an option in the future, I would not add the money to either of these accounts. 

This is perfectly fine if you are going to be living there a long time, but I see people who use a home as a stepping stool home to a larger home in future and make it very customized to their liking but then when try and sell it, it does not appeal to the masses.
