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

Half would be business, other half the primary benefit.

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.

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. 

Quote from @Brandon Croucier: Quote from @Chris Seveney: They are more than a one man show - they are doing $10-12MM a year in lending (also have other parts of business) and have the people and systems in place includin g all above except the deal flow.How does one profitably run a PML company with numerous people only funding 10-12M a year?

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