Fortunately, you will be able to to a 1033 exchange into new property and avoid any tax on the gain. 

The benefit of working with DSCR lenders is that those lenders generally have shorter seasoning periods to use for doing a cash out on the new appraised value- such as three or six months.

In my opinion taking a basic self-defense course and maintaining a solid level of physical fitness would benefit a majority of people a lot more than taking a CCW class and carrying a gun.

It's for the tenant's benefit, but you will benefit from it over the long-term.

If you structure your lease option correctly, it'll actually benefit your DSCR loan.I have a lease-option tenant buyer that's currently in a 10-year lease option with me. 

I think we'll go with the doorbell cameras that the tenants can use for their added benefit and appeal also (in between any vacancy). 

Hopefully, you have been able to gain more advice since then. 

I think I’m more focused on long term gain, some short term cash flow is nice but I’m not planning to try and live on it or anything.

Tax incentives are just one of many benefits to invest in real estate, but far from the whole purpose.

Not only will you save thousands of $$, you will have control over what is going on and avoid getting taken advantage of.This can also impact tax benefits.
