Be mindful of short-term capital gains tax, as profits from flips held for less than a year are taxed as ordinary income, and frequent flipping may result in self-employment taxes.While profits from flips do not qualify for 1031 exchanges (since flips are considered inventory, not investment properties), you can minimize your tax burden by deducting allowable expenses like renovation costs, loan interest, and holding expenses.If you're considering diversifying into rentals, explore opportunities to benefit from long-term tax advantages such as depreciation and lower long-term capital gains rates.

These should be reflected in the purchase price or negotiated as part of the terms, such as the seller carrying some of the renovation burden.Use seller financing to your advantage by proposing a price closer to $225,000-$250,000 with terms such as 20% down, a low interest rate (4-5%), or interest-only payments for 3-5 years, with a balloon payment once renovations are complete and cash flow stabilizes.If the seller is firm on price, consider negotiating higher down payment terms to reduce the financed amount, paired with interest-only terms or a price reduction tied to renovation milestones.Key questions to address include the condition of the septic system, which can be a significant expense if it fails.

If you did, you could take advantage of some unique strategies, like renting it out while traveling (as long as it’s for 14 days or less) and having that rental income be completely non-taxable.

For that reason, there is very little advantage (currently) in using crypto, unless you do something like a crypto secured loan as you mention. 

I wholeheartedly agree there are a lot of (too many) "gurus" hocking seminars and workshops and taking advantage of inexperienced, aspiring investors so they can sell more seminars and workshops and swindle more people.

Since the contributions have to come from the business income (PM biz) it’s not likely you’ll come close to taking advantage of the high contribution limits of a Solo 401k.
