Think first who will give up this great benefit? 

Important: I am much more on the leftist / progressive / social justice side of the spectrum and not super interested in screwing others over - mutual benefit while doing good is my preference.1.

@Brandon Nguyen Vancouver still has lots of appreciation potential so you'll definitely benefit by owning there long term.

While still allowing you to reap all of the benefits of real estate ownership including not just a return, but also capital appreciation, depreciation, and amortization of the loan (if you have one).This kind of transition is exactly what 1031 exchanges are designed for.

As a passive investor getting a mentor is a cost/benefit decision: money for training, experience, access, and therefore speed. 

The benefit is that there is no accounting reconciliation needed like there is if you collect payments through Cash App, Venmo, or Zelle.

You'll benefit from getting a good team on board so the management goes smoothly.

Although I do not have a house that would benefit from one of these compact units, we have replaced 3 out of 4 of our homes with the LG 5 cu. ft High efficiency top load no agitator washers & the 7.3 cu ft top load dryer and my cleaners absolutely love them for the large load capacity and the custom drying time ability. 

Remember, cost segregation was a great benefit even when we didn't have bonus depreciation.

I decided that I wanted to take advantage of this benefit by buying a property to eventually rent out (after meeting the 1 year primary residence restrictions).
