Knows real estate tax write-offs and how I can best apply them!

However, I’d like to have a space of my own before living with others again (I plan to house hack again with my next property).I’m seeking advice on how to move forward, as I need to consider things like utilities, taxes, landlord/umbrella insurance, and managing the property, especially with someone renting my garage.Specifically, I’m curious about renting out individual rooms and living on my own for a little while.

Whichever loan that you decide to use, the interest will be tax deductible due to interest tracing rules.

It links to our business bank account and our business credit card so come tax time, deductions should be easier.

Your problem will be them incurring capital gains taxes simply so you can get a commission.

To succeed, focus on properties in high-demand neighborhoods like Pecan Grove or Aliana, and ensure your cash flow analysis accounts for high property taxes, potential HOA restrictions, and flood insurance costs.

If you can rent it for $2,000/month, after fees, taxes, and potential maintenance costs, you’d still make a decent passive income.

There are auctions to sell cars, police auctions, tax impounded auctions, antique auctions, etc.

This might make sense, but again, you are just deferring the taxes and now pushing tax from capital gains to ordinary income. 

Quote from @Erick Pena: A "good" rental property is one that covers all expenses (mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, property management fees, and any other costs) and still leave a surplus (commonly referred to as cash flow).Calculate cash flow as: Cash Flow = Rental Income − Operating Expenses − DebtThere's much more to it, but that's the basic idea.
