Tax benefits specifically related to family members is a bigger topic.

I am a real estate agent and a local investor as I said and investing in tourism sector in DR has different benefits:1- tax benefit ( no paying tax for 15 years )2- ROI +8% 3- Great Appreciation (natural and forced)4- financing 0% by the way, some residences are working with international tour operators and resort administrations like Windham who guarantee +60% occupancy over the year on your property. ( this is for long-distance investors )If you or anyone on this topic has any questions about it pls answer or DM me 

just because you buy a property does not mean you will be successful.here are some good threads to read:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1171104-the-m...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1159104-overl...last question - can you house hack? 

I would disagree I've seen standardized definitions of the types of communities. but I do agree there is a place in the market. it's fast growing and undersupplied but I disagree on how much of a premium people place on it. it's still less efficient and lower rents per square foot from a development perspective I'd never do it myself. it's still a suburban market and we develop urban. here are a few articles I reference with some of our BTR entitlement clients:https://www.urban.org/sites/default/files/2023-06/What%20Is%...https://www.cbre.com/insights/reports/build-to-rent-overviewThe CBRE one does a good analysis of the styles and groupings if you care to read. 

I just started a post asking this same question:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/50/topics/351567-purchasing-real-estate-with-credit-cards 

This article published here on BP last year goes over your needs and questions pretty closely - help this helps!

Hi Bailey,I have a couple of suggestions...I just read this bigger pockets article that sums up the current market situation pretty succinctly:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/a-robust-economy-is-wreck...In short, it says it's pretty tough to get started right now.
