It will familiarize you with the basic terminology and benefits.

I am using the tax benefit along with the principal pay down and appreciation to offset.

Bottom line, they side with a scammers and for the "benefit" of being on their site, you get to waste more time than it's worth, dealing with their confusing set up.

The reason being they see no benefit and they do not understand it. 

Half would be business, other half the primary benefit.

Either way, with rent and price appreciation, tax benefits, holding long term is a net worth exploder.

Newton's law of tax: What goes down must come up.Everyone enjoys the sweet benefits of bonus depreciation, but what happens when you sell?

The bank will make you leave 25% equity in the property - but you also still want the property to at least cash flow some - so be careful how much equity you pull out / new debt you take on.I would do a cost benefit analysis of what your actual gain is in cash-flow on buying a new property with a (currently) higher interest rate (if financing), versus just holding on to the current appreciated property and enjoying that cash flow.All the best!

Use tax benefits like depreciation, repair deductions, and tax-free refinance proceeds to offset income, and consider an LLC for liability protection.

Overall, the tax benefits and appreciation alone keep me interested in staying with it more than the cash flow itself.
