He scaled with quality, going full-on luxury top-shelf.

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.

Great reason for not pulling deductions forward.I have been retired from a W2 job for some time and my income is at an all time high and will just keep going up with more RE investments. 

"Inflation expectations" is a purely rational and logical way to look at it, but let's consider that bond market buyers/sellers aren't 100% comprised of Vulcans, and that there are highly emotional and irrational individuals among them, as well. 

Here’s how:Property Management: Outsource for $25/hour instead of spending your time on tenant issues.Administrative Tasks: Use virtual assistants for scheduling, bookkeeping, or paperwork.Maintenance Coordination: Delegate routine repairs to trusted contractors.The cost of outsourcing is often a fraction of what your time is worth, freeing you to focus on high-impact activities.

I want to try and offset as much cost as possible without compromising quality so I’m looking for a GC mentor who could help me eat, breathe, sleep and wake GC lol.

I was just telling my friend today that I'm getting multi-family, high performance, and relationship mentoring all in one package! 

To be more specific about what i'm looking to do: My 1-2 year goal is to employ the BRRRR strategy with SFHs and Condos by buying distressed / highly undervalued properties that need work (preferably all-cash) in low crime areas with strong rental demand, renovate them within budget (again preferably all-cash) and get them rent ready before refinancing them at the highest ARV possible.

Prices are higher, but rents are very high as well.

I own two properties there, but insurance costs have skyrocketed.Lately, securing home insurance has become increasingly challenging due to the high risk of hurricanes, flooding, and other factors.
