What’s the property’s current value and how much equity do you have?

We are looking at the compound asset acquisition and also using the short term rental loophole for our future properties and likely moving my wife into the real estate professional position while I remain at my W2 position.To sum it up, I would like to know what higher income W2 earners are doing in order to help offset their W2 taxes or if there is a way? 

He has been alongside me on the other deals so I’d like to give him equity/skin in the game and I don’t know how else to do itQuote from @Basit Siddiqi: Getting a property with a partner / friend will not help you from getting hosed on taxes.I wouldn't move forward - You mentioned beng a high income earner so your hourly rate is very high.

Went on to purchase additional rentals so tenants can pay down the loan and I build equity How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

You can put first position liens on much better quality real estate than the real estate you would be buying and can easily generate the rate of return you are seeking between points and interest payments. 

By purchasing a multi-unit property, living in one unit, and renting out the others, you can cover your mortgage payments and start building equity while gaining rental income.

Having sold 90% in 2022 and gone to equities, I'm more gone out the exit tunnel than on the sidelines, but my prediction then to maybe start sniffing around again in '26 still seems about right to me. 

Once my property is complete, I think I'll be in a great equity position.

Just keep in mind the MIP doesn't come off the loan like normal PMI at 25% equity.

I’m a serial entrepreneur with experience in the tech and food distribution industries, now diving into real estate investment to build cash flow and long-term equity.
