With a lot more benefits.

This is great news for real estate investors, as the TCJA introduced several tax benefits that directly supported the industry.

Both investments can offer tax benefits, but real estate typically has the edge.

Each have their benefits and drawbacks.

Hopefully any BP members in the LA situation can benefit from the thought process.  

This is a significant potential benefit that can impact everything from security deposits to rent controls to eviction procedures. 

And that is the reason why a LIRP can provide much more retirement income.You don't pay interest on the loans and the death benefit pays off the loans when you die.

At a high LTV your leverage will be magnified.If your cash flow really is break even (I have my doubts) then with the magnification resulting from leverage, you could produce a fairly good return (ROI from leveraged appreciation, equity pay down, tax benefits).Good luck

Any honest, intelligent person can see that there would be benefits to having a set up like that.

I will certainly look into them though, as I'm sure that group still has its benefits.
