Self-Directed IRAs (SDIRA) or Solo 401(k)s allow tax-deferred or tax-free real estate investing, though they come with IRS restrictions.

Every time you lower your tax bracket you are lowering the value of the deductions.

Quote from @Mike Hansen: When out of state investing, how does one go about appealing their tax assessment?

I have two questions regarding mortgage interest tax deductions.First, last year, I purchased a HUD property at a significant discount and used a $70,000 HELOC from my primary residence for the down payment.

AppFolio is great for property managers, but investors often use Stessa, REI Hub, or Buildium for tracking income, expenses, and tax reporting.

Are there any tax advantages or disadvantages to my being both a resident and a landlord?  

2) Tax friendly states?

More like a 101 of taxation: you had a reserve of losses -> it helps when you have profits.And a tax geek addendum:I also do not see a direct link to cost segregation benefits here.

A high property tax rate will increase the taxes more quickly as a percentage of total expenses when the property value increases.

Not looking forward to losses, just meant in the sense that I have a new STR and will expect to incur losses in year 1 and this is advantageous from a tax perspective in a sense.
