and offer up question and answer support for anyone interested in investing in residential assisted living, actively, passively, or somewhere in between.Over my real estate journey I’ve tried a lot of different asset classes and finally landed on residential assisted living as my favorite real estate niche and perhaps the most incredible growth opportunity for the next few decades due to demographics and how that will drive demand to keep outpacing supply.

This guy is offering me to put down $48,450 which is right at 10%dp + $3,550.00 out of pocket and give me the same rate at 6.875, but with a 3-2-1, starting off at 3.875% on the first year.

I believe that any losses you have in the stock market could offset rental income.On the other hand, the better solution is to not have any net rental income. 

Problem is only "RE pros" get to do it.There are 3 income classifications in the US - Active, Portfolio, and PassiveActive income is income derived from your job, or normal trade or business.Portfolio income is derived from bank instruments - stocks, bonds, etc.Passive income is income earned from investments.Active losses can wipe out both passive and portfolio income, but it doesn't work the other way around.Portfolio (capital) losses are limited to $3,000 annually.Passive losses can only be offset by passive gains.Real estate rental income by its nature is deemed passive per IRC Sec 469One way to get around it is to become a pro - spend more than 750 hours or 1/2 your time in real estate.But most folks aren't real estate pros.
