So you can have section 179 losses for your rental even if the rental isn't generating positive taxable income, as long as you have other active income. 

Once I've completed these initial projects and built up some capital, my long-term goal is to transition into buy-and-hold investments in potentially more affordable markets to maximize cash flow and scale up.Right now, I'm particularly interested in investing locally here in the Seattle metro area.

What is the current market valuation of the property based on comparable sales (defined as similar properties, within a 1-mile radius, within the last 30 to 180 days, that are within 10% of total square footage)? 

The picture they have on Zillow vs one of the several I have with the same view:I don't know who your current PMC is, but I had to switch from my initial one in Warren, MI as it was taking too long to get a renter placed. 

For reference, my property was only about 90 miles from Peoria.

Long-term planning allows for steady growth, compounding returns, and the flexibility to adapt to economic and societal changes.

If you look at the one mile income radius and you see median household income at 45k, then take 30% of that or $13,500. 

Many Texas cities are incentivizing developers to build affordable housing units, but challenges remain around keeping these homes accessible long-term.

My short term goal is to start investing in single family homes/duplexes within 100 miles of Boise as long term rentals.
