there’s a funny debate on this. we put it on one of our rentals in SoCal and it’s netter us in a positive way and made us more attractive to prospective tenants.that being said, IF it were truly lucrative I think we’d see more corporate apartments like Greystar and Redwood installing solar panels.If you do install, make sure you figure out what tax credits you qualify for etc and make sure your output is covered by the panels for day AND night. theres no sun at night.. so make sure when they design they dont hide that. the salespeople are shady with that aspect and it’s annoying.

Much better than Buffalo hide tents.Just my 2 cents.

WE finance peoples deals and dont charge anything and just get paid for the Use of the money like any other investor.. thats the difference that I see as it relates to sharing information on BP>I agree though this hiding around the fact and the subliminal messaging that was really prevalent in years past..

We don't want to make it seem like we are hiding assets.3.Should we move her primary-residence to the Portfolio as well? 

"Hiding" them from plain site can be helpful. 

On my HUD statement line 1112 I have "Escrow Fee to Title Company" and line 1113 "Courier to Title Company".

It all ended up ok, and we got out with our hide, but it all cost me over several million of my equity. 

I would also argue that there are plenty of landlords out there that have rentals which are currently below market rental price.I assume that this part of the tax code was created to prevent those with multiple homes from letting relatives live in one for almost free, while potentially hiding that rental income and not having it registered as a business and pocketing the money.  

@Marian Smith good point I guess I’ll have to invest in a stock pile of felt pads but my LVP in my current house seems to be holding up to scratching pretty well but it could just be the color that’s hiding it lol.

That's the properties i currently hold, a few more properties and i will be bringing in what i make right now working, in cash flow, and i could live off of that, the rest will be all theirs. i have done a some flips, i have made as little as $100, i have also made $50,000, so there are ways to get money when needed but no matter which type of investing you are doing it is always a gamble, but i think a variety of ways is your best bet, you are taking risks yet having some safe investments for those down times, the next best area may be the worst financial investment if you do not time things right, either buying or selling.There are probably investors out there that lose money on their properties but it is a tax advantage/ strategy for them and down the road when they sell, or their kids inherit, it would be worth a lot of money to either one. if you make a lot of money and you need a place to " dump " it, a losing property is a good hiding place especially if the kids inherit it later at current market value.There is no wrong way to invest, as long as you have a plan and an exit strategy.
