Is my thinking correct that homes in highly appreciated areas won't benefit as much from Cost Seg. 

And that is the reason why a LIRP can provide much more retirement income.You don't pay interest on the loans and the death benefit pays off the loans when you die.

I’m considering amulti-family property in the 76104 zip code of Fort Worth, TX, and I’d love your feedback to help determine if this is a good deal.Property DetailsAsking Price: $169,999 (seller says it’s negotiable).Current Rental Income: $2,400/month (duplex is vacant).Configuration: Combination of duplex and triplex units.Some units are rented at below-market rates.The duplex and need rehab.Historical Income: Seller claims it previously brought in $5,000/month when fully occupied.ConditionBuilt in 1934, so it’s an older property.Some permits were recently pulled (e.g., plumbing, window replacements, and sheetrock repairs), but it still needs work to get the vacant units ready to rent.It’s located in a neighborhood with a higher crime rate but also near major highways and areas with rental demand (e.g., downtown Fort Worth and Texas Christian University).My Goal:I’m focused on cash flow, and this property seems like it could work if I can stabilize it.

With real estate investing, you have the tax benefit and depreciation along with what is hopefully an apreciating  asset.

My broker says more hikes to come.Building codes are getting much stricter and I suspect heading your way.

I’ve heard this can have benefits, but I’m not sure where to start.If anyone has advice on how to proceed, I’d love to hear it!

Any honest, intelligent person can see that there would be benefits to having a set up like that.

I am also a huge fan of real estate and for the past 50 years there's been a way to combine both.By leveraging a Self-Directed IRA, real estate investors enjoy both the traditional advantages of property ownership and the additional tax benefits of retirement accounts, creating a powerful wealth-building strategy.

While I'm not sure what zip code this property is in, the average FMR for the Cleveland MSA for a 2 BR unit is $1,255.

Wait for her to bring it up.Don’t focus only on sacrifices and future payoffs.Highlight near-term benefits, not just “someday we’ll be rich.”Don’t force or bribe her to attend meetups.Invite her but dont push itDon’t try to teach them to analyze deals.Focus on what excites themFYI I had to deploy before my wife got on board.
