I'd rather just invest in something that would gain value and get deductions through an active business - created for the purpose of tax deductions.

Period.I love my family, BUT the stories of issue with family doing business with family are ubiquitous.I hope all goes smooth for you and everyone is happy, BUT......My 2 cents,Mike

Wholesaling is a relationship based business and the deals have to make sense.

@Gash Nookala,Renting can indeed be slower in winter, but here are some tips to boost interest:Enhance Listing: Ensure your listing has detailed descriptions and high-quality photos—consider professional photography if needed.Competitive Pricing: Double-check local comps; even a slight price adjustment or incentives (like a reduced deposit) could attract more interest.Broaden Marketing: Beyond Zillow, Hemlane, and MLS, use social media, community boards, and local business connections to reach a wider audience.Flexible Lease Terms: Offering shorter or month-to-month leases might appeal to tenants during this slower season.Local Property Manager: A local pro can tap into their network and help fill the vacancy faster.These steps should help you find a tenant despite the seasonal slowdown.

You can also double hack these if you have enough units and live in one unit and use one unit for your business, but of course that decreases your cash flow but increases your usability.You can also use an FHA loan to get a mixed-use property with only 3.5% down if the residential square footage if more than 50% of the total square footage.

But I guess, compared to a lot of new people, I take the stance of: those that are truly successful in whatever business they are teaching don't have time to teach.
