I will be back there next weekend speaking for Linda Pleagas at a couple of events she is putting together in the LA area.  

@Linda S..

My name is Danuel Carter, and I'm excited to share with you about my journey into house hacking in Greensboro, NC.

Quote from @Linda S.: @Autumn Churchill,Our first true investment property was a duplex.   

It's just noise right now.You are in Yorba Linda, CA. 

@Linda Mc faddenHi Linda,Are you going to be in the home during construction?

@Carter JonesOf course, if you take a distribution from your retirement account you will have to pay the taxes and (likely) penalties.

@Linda TANG it will absolutely trickle down and is in most every other market I'm watching

And, even after such an analysis, it's likely to be debatable as opposed to a clear cut.Generally speaking - yes, you have a chance to qualify, as @Linda Weygant explained, but it depends on whether the work you do for the shop meets the definition of "real property trade or business."

@Jesse Carter, you can find us on Facebook by searching Augusta REIA.
