STR is a lot of work but can get more in profits.

The property is a means to an end in profiting from cash flow.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.Heather M.Why do all inexperienced wanna be business owners think doing what everyone else is doing is going to be profitable? 

Hence, no profit, no tax.It was worth $600k when inherited.

The large margin of profits when developing single-family homes and duplexes is significantly more than fix and flips.

If you sell after a couple years, you've gained appreciation and still get to keep the profits tax free if you've lived there 2 out of the last 5 years. 2.

I took a leap of faith, invested in a run-down apartment complex, and with hard work and strategic planning, I transformed it into a profitable venture.

Some people say don’t do it, but I paid off my 60k I used from my HELOC 5 years ago with my Cashflow and I profit $6200/month and ended up with 8 houses from my first two houses I used from the HELOC.

The most glaring example: "taxable income" is very different from actual profit as measured by cash received.2.
