We created it about three years ago in order to help us convert a mobile home park that we own in the center of Florence, Arizona into a tiny house village.

QIP can be bonus depreciated.To maximize deductions, consider waiting to make improvements until after the property is converted to a rental.

And I totally agree, providing the best value is key and I know that's what would eventually "win" the deal for me at the end of the day.

I'm considering converting the shed into a DADU to maximize the use of the space and earn some extra income. 

I eventually want to buy a house but I think as a novice this will give me some experience and the opportunity to learn the challenges that I will need to overcome once I do buy my property. 

That is the thing that will eventually get you over the hump, not talking to realtors who, for the most part, don't know anything about working with investors and have heard the "once I get this first property, I am going to keep going" dialogue a million times.If you want to market yourself, the best thing to do is to walk a five-block radius that you really want to buy in.

My real estate journey began in 2010 with a three-family property that I lived in, renovated, and eventually turned into a profitable rental before selling it via a 1031 exchange to purchase a short-term rental.My current goal is to acquire my first multifamily property using private lending by Q1 2025 and grow my portfolio using the BRRR strategy.A question for the community: What’s been your most effective way to connect with private lenders for small multifamily properties?

Eventually whatever you will buy will cashflow and cash very nicely. 

What i do know is i will convert $300k to roth at an estimated 23% fed this year.  

That should fix that issue and just keep on them to get them to stop eventually.
