You will dramatically decrease your living expenses, enabling you to save money more rapidly than you would if you were renting, or bought a house in which you lived alone.4.

The more you know about each other now will likely decrease tensions in the future and cost both of you less money.

The majority of those "houses" were built as temporary military housing back in the 40's and are of very low quality construction.

Underwriter took the position that it looked like dad-in-law might be dummying up paystubs (or giving him a giant and real, but temporary, pay increase) to get his daughter and her husband out of the basement, and refused to use anything but the lower number that was on tax returns for husband's income calculation.

At least that way the interest payments (she just bought the home two years ago) would go down through decreased amortization...

If you need more detail here it is:Benefits:A) Temporary deferral(possible reduction)of inclusion in gross income for capital gains reinvested in a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QO Fund)■ Held for 5 years - 10% of capital gain is avoided■ Held for 7 years - 15% of capital gain is avoidedB) Permanent exclusion of certain capital gains from the sale or exchange of an investment in the QO Fund.Example:A sells a property and realizes a gain of $1 million on Dec. 1, 2021.

I was surprised that such a small increase/decrease in rate made such a big difference.  

In addition to the above commentors, If this does become a serious issue, there is one advantage, housing prices will decrease as demand decreases (and therefore supply increases).

When one ferry is out of commission, (broken)  the entire system gets switched around on a temporary basis.

@Price KenneyYou want to connect with an accountant who is very familiar with taxation as it pertains to foreign investors.A couple things to consider.1) Depreciation calculated may be different if the ultimate owner is US or Foreign.2) Corporation tax rate decreases with the most recent tax reform made "blockers" more attractive.3) use of a blocker is favorable to many foreign investors as you are not required to file a US individual tax return and not required to disclose all other personal information to IRS.However, all the facts and circumstances should be addressed before preceding so please consult with a competent accountant.
