Hey Joe, while you can accelerate deprecation and reduce some overall tax hit, the penalties associated with early withdrawal on an IRA are 10%.

Obviously there is a lot to discuss on this topic, but for a very quick glance, here are a few pro's and con's to consider when thinking about section 8 rentals:Pros:Guaranteed Rent Payments -> The government pays a significant portion (if not all) of the rent directly to the landlord, providing a reliable and steady income stream.High Demand -> There is often a high demand for Section 8 housing, reducing the risk of long vacancy periods.Cons:Inspection and Compliance -> The property must pass an initial inspection and comply with health and safety standards set by the local housing authority.

The FHA, to date, includes seven protected classes: race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, and familial status.

There are a couple of ways to reduce your tax liability if you decide to sell within the 2 year period:(1) If you've made any capital improvements to the house, you will likely be able to reduce the amount of capital gains tax you will pay on the property.  

You can also try and incorporate a seller concession of up to 3% (with 3.5% down) which can help cover closing costs and reduce the cash needed to close.

This also reduces the risk of mingling funds, which is important for both clarity and legal reasons, especially if you decide to form an LLC in the future.Potential Issues with Personal Checking Accounts:Audits: Using personal accounts can complicate things during audits.

Diversifying your portfolio can reduce risk and potentially increase overall returns.Opportunity Cost-You might miss out on potential opportunities to leverage your equity and acquire more properties, especially in a market where finding cash flowing properties is challenging.Pursue a 1031 ExchangePros:Portfolio Expansion-A 1031 exchange allows you to diversify and increase your investment portfolio by acquiring multiple properties.

so the way you do it is : buy/rehab primary-->rent it out -->collect lease -->HELOC it---->apply primary with showing the lease so DTI reduced-->continue or sell after 2 years , you can mix/match between the two, basically for every primary, your job is to make sure you have Dscr>1.0 and keep moving.

My largest concern is the ability to reduce vacancy.

Depreciation: For investment properties, you can depreciate the property over a set period, reducing your taxable income.5. 1031 Exchanges: This allows you to defer capital gains tax by reinvesting the proceeds from a sale into a similar property.Feel free to ask any questions or share your own experiences!
