Buy and holds is the key to true wealth with all the benefits of depreciation, appreciation, loan pay down by your tenants, leveraging the equity, cash-flow etc etc, but it often times isn't the active income that pays the bills until you build up a portfolio and even then there's the tenant management or managing your property managers.That's why I'm involved in all 3.

I think that this niche pays off a little better than SFH's.

Quote from @JooYung Choi: You could consider going for a STR in a vacation market that will give you way more cash flow to pay off the HELOC quicker.

You will report worldwide income on your federal and Kansas tax returns.You will also include the MO activity on your KS return.Your MO return will only include the acitivity within that state, which in this case, is the rental property.In the future, if you have income in MO(either through the sale of the property or through rental income), you will pay tax to MO but KS will give you a credit for any taxes you pay to MO.best of luck

Mom is fully insured w/Medicare (Parts A-G), BUT it pays $0 for long-term care (skilled nursing is only temp & not her need). 

If so, they can sell within 2 years and not pay capital gains taxes on the sell of the home.They could take that money and buy multiple rental homes in other areas if they wanted, or use the money to downsize in to a different home while still having money left over.
