Converting the entire property to a rental later allows full deductions but eliminates primary residence tax benefits, potentially increasing capital gains taxes on sale.

But with BAH base allowance housing. $15,000 to $50,000 tax free annually.  

The way I see it is 25% down out of state means $100k in down payment/closing cost to obtain turnkey property that gains equity similar to an IRA or 5% down managing a renovation in the property your living in which in turn pays yourself from the equity gains which allows you to get to multiple house hacks very fast. 

If you plan on selling the property always try to leave at least one unit vacant this way you allow for more types of buyers like house hackers or investors.

I'd thought about offering 145k and allowing my agent to take a 3% comission ($4,200), use the $800 on any inspection/closing costs, and the seller walks away with 140k.

i am confident i can manage the relatively small amount of requests, and have heard some good things about apps and software that are a "one stop shop" for landlords that allow payment, leases, and repair requests. i have one out of state rental property with a plethora of options for handymen and contractors around. i have been paying a property management company 8% plus all of their inflated costs of repairs and fees and with insurance going up it has really opened my eyes to my margins not as healthy as i would like.do you have a certain product you have used or use or would recommend?

Offline booking behaviors Vrbo does not allow offering, incentivizing, or directing travelers to accept bookings outside the Vrbo platform.

I don’t think any of it is allowed to go back into the property.

As mentioned in the podcast, you can carry forward the paper loss, which could offset future rental income or other income once the property is fully operational as a rental.To maximize your benefit, doing the cost segregation study now while bonus depreciation is still at 100% would allow you to accelerate depreciation and take advantage of the full deduction in the year the property is placed in service as a rental.
