Hopefully kept good records of improvements / anything to increase the basis2.

But I quickly realized that scaling one house at a time wasn’t the most efficient path to financial freedom.

New and improved and looking to make it the best ever this year.

Co-living provides built-in diversification, lowering your financial risk compared to single-lease rentals.5.

What I'm hoping to find: I'm hoping to make connections, for mutual benefit; this could be investor friendly agents who have experience with identifying promising house hacks, investors who are looking for an additional financial partner, investors who are looking for a partner to help manage the load of projects (I am naturally drawn to planning and execution), and more broadly anyone who is willing to share experience and create new connections!

Been a lot of work and Lot of exposure financially I borrowed about 50 million to pull this off..

Contrary to most business lending, the REI industry has a lot of "non-bank" lenders that provide attractive loans that can lower your cost of capital and improve your profit/cash flow. 

You might consider: Consulting a Real Estate Attorney – Your emails may possibly prove misrepresentation.Requesting Public Records – A FOIA request might reveal why the city denied you but later approved the duplex.Escalating to City Officials – Bringing this to local officials could expose inconsistencies.Exploring Tax Write-Offs – A CPA might help offset your financial loss, if it is possible.I’d definitely seek legal advice.

Additionally, if your goal is to maximize personal financial benefits, consider profit distributions from the property-owning LLC, which may provide tax flexibility depending on your situation.By adhering to FMV, maintaining proper documentation, and structuring the lease agreement carefully, you can optimize tax benefits while staying compliant.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Repairs made while the property is your primary residence are not deductible, but improvements can increase your cost basis, reducing future capital gains tax when you sell.
