Often it takes one desperate investor/ owner to drop the rent by a few hundred $ to get the ripple effect going. 

How do you navigate risks effectively in your real estate?

We advise our clients to use other strategies that we provide, that are more effective, for people willing to put a little new thought into investing.

So 30k in interest payments on a primary would only net most people an $800 tax deduction since they would have already got the standard deduction by default, where as 30k in rental interest would translate into 30k in deductions.This means that for an awful lot of people, they effectively don't get to deduct the interest on their primary.Keeping the loan on your rentals, while getting rid of the loan on your primary also helps from an asset protection side of things. 

Simple yet effective. 

Hey Roque, To safeguard your interests effectively, I recommend consulting with a lawyer to draft one for you.

@Jesse Kerr the disconnect, in our opinion, is doing everything yourself and keeping it in your head VERSUS a good PMC having to document everything and communicate it effectively to all parties.As the owner, you can make immediate decisions, saving LOTS of time!

Having a small loan on the house I talked with my banker and was told that moving the house would not effect the loan as long as the house stayed in my name.  

Lenders typically prefer to offer loans when the property is cash-flowing; if the DSCR is under 1, it might still be possible to get a loan, but expect less favorable terms.Understanding these elements will help you better prepare for securing a DSCR loan, allowing you to leverage your rental properties effectively for further real estate investments. 

If you have an entity with an EIN, and that entity either owns the property (named on title) or constructively owns the rental, then use that.Otherwise, then SSN.Ultimately this has very little effect on the tax return, liability, etc.
