As already mentioned, you could sell via seller financing to lower AGI, as all you would have to claim is the payment income - until balloon payment received.Did know an investor that had 14 properties paid off and he moved into one every two years to then sell with the $250k single exemption.

The tenant consistently paid late after pandemic, eventually declared bankruptcy, and leveraged the legal system to drag out the eviction process for nearly a year.

@George Blower yes, If any funds go to pay the seller note it will be a contribution first to the Solo K, then paid out to the seller.

I just paid my contractors liability insurance and it went up another 40%.

Keep in mind, you can’t use personal funds or your home's equity to directly fund the SDIRA investment, and all property expenses must be paid from the IRA.

I did use Quickbooks, but it was really cumbersome and expense (we paid a bookkeeper to manage it.)

What the gurus don't tell you is that they are comparing market rents to the GROSS amount of S8 rent on a voucher which INCLUDES LANDORD PAID UTILITIES!

What REALLY happens when a PM get paid % of rents, for incentive, is the PM is more incentivized to keep BAD tenants in place who are paying.

Thank you Eric.In addition to the rental properties, my wife and I have a paid off house, paid off car, and about $1.4m in retirement accounts, brokerages, and savings.We live in a HCOL area and our expenses are $9.5k per month even though we live pretty modestly.I set out initially to have real estate pay for at least some of my expenses in order to give me more freedom and financial security.Is your wife quitting too? 

Interest always paid on time, and principal was returned with bonus right on schedule.
