I also don't offer price reductions for longer-term leases.

Quote from @Adrian Williams: First, I never offer rent reductions as compensation for anything.

I strongly favor regular price reductions until leased out.Most people make the mistake of letting it sit too long when simple math points to that fact that 2 additional weeks of vacancy at $1000 per month equals $500.

Specifically, you'll want to collect and analyze a LOT of comp sales data (including data pertaining to days on market, price reductions, the buyer pool, etc.) so that you have a very good understanding of the buyer pool, and how difficult it could be to sell this type of property...I'd suggest talking with multiple agents who have experience with this type of property, and asking them what type of DOM, ARV, and sale experience they would predict for the property.Before you take on $25k+ of credit card debt for a rehab, you'll want to consider all the potential problems you might face with your strategy, and potential solutions to those problems.

I only illustrated appreciation in this scenario, but the concept of exponential growth is the same by having multiple properties for things like cash flow, debt reduction, and most importantly for me, tax benefits.3) I run cost segregation studies on all properties I buy to take accelerated depreciation to offset my income.

@Shawn Corcoran Assuming the deal works, I get my principal back, plus my prorata share of any principal reduction, plus my prorata share of any appreciation of the asset. 

My questions are as follows:Since I won't be purchasing another SFR to own, It seems like I could keep the homestead and DV tax reductions in place, along with my current loan.

Tough pill to swallow.

Truth is often a bitter pill.  

Dallas (22,056) and Houston (24,770) had moderate reductions.
