If mixed in with your deposits and reserve funds, you may accidentally spend money you shouldn't have.

In some cases, federal tax credits like those for low-income housing or economic development might also apply if the project aligns with certain goals.Instead of buying the land outright, developers often lease it from the tribe, which can reduce upfront costs and sometimes come with favorable lease terms.

By the end of 2 years, I could save 50-60k for a down payment, closing costs, and reserves. 

Finally, the cost of a college education has outpaced inflation, due to federally guaranteed student loans allowing universities free reign to raise tuition and fees.

And with an HOA handling maintenance, have you checked their reserves?

However, you can defer taxes under §1033 involuntary conversion if you elect to reinvest the proceeds into a similar rental property within two years (three years if the government condemns the property or threatens to do so, and four years for a principal residence in a federally declared disaster area).To reduce taxable gain, consider:Electing §1033 treatment and reinvesting the full $300K into a new rental property to defer taxes completely.Partial reinvestment, where only the portion not reinvested is taxable.Properly documenting all replacement costs and property details to ensure IRS compliance.Using cost segregation on the new property to accelerate depreciation and offset future taxable income.Since the §1033 election must be made, consult a tax professional to ensure compliance and maximize deferral benefits.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I am leaning towards that you should house hack if you're monthly payment and accounting for capex/opex/reserves make sense.

Yes, this comes with some risks and limitations and this strategy is not for someone without any reserve as it will put them in a very bad financial position.Thank you

For the second time, I've had a guest cancel a reservation, initiating a refunding through my payment provider that brings with it significant transfer fees because Booking.com heavily promotes their "book for free, pay on arrival" policy, which is not aligned to my management platform policy.

A cash-out refi could allow you to set aside some funds as a reserve or at least pay down your debts so that your lines of credit (credit cards etc) can act as your emergency reserve when more bad things happen.
