., cost segregation studies), carrying forward 2024 losses, and accelerating deductible expenses to reduce taxable income.Shift to Passive Investments: If management has become burdensome, hire a property manager or transition equity into more passive assets like turnkey properties, syndications, or REITs to reduce workload while maintaining income potential.Expand or Reinvest: Use your equity to acquire new cash flow-positive properties in markets with strong fundamentals, focusing on diversification and long-term stability.By refinancing, selling underperformers, or paying down debt, you can improve liquidity and cash flow.

It also depends on the situation sometimes a HELOC is warranted for short term financial needs so long as you have a plan to get back in the same or better financial position afterwards and the "means," and "will," to carry out this financial or mortgage plan- HELOC's are typically full documentation qualifying loans so you'll need actual income to qualify whether it be from pension, insurance, rental's, etc that are all fully documented on taxes, W2's, 1099 forms, etc.

Hi @Kobe Carr I am a realtor here in the DFW.

A HELOC carries a higher rate over a shorter amortization usually 10 or 15 years and a mortgage carries a lower rate over a 30 year amortization offering a lower payment.You have to run the math in each scenario because the math differs based on a few things like Fico score, CLTV, Loan size, and time frame between purchase and refinance of new property.

But if you can't claim loss (as you might not qualify) under that, you can carry it forward and deduct it in the future against your rental income.To deduct expenses, there is no requirement to create LLC and all.

Carrying costs in purchase and or rehab is financed, cost of capital on refi, re-recording, title, updated insurance, etc. their are many costs at play after initial funding then to transition long term unless your straight cash on the front end.

This loss will be carried forward. 

A DSCR Loan will carry a much higher rate than 4.8% and will most likely need a greater down payment. 

So they invest in real estate and watch all of the great tax losses get suspended and carried forward.The short-term rental loophole avoids this issue.
