Quote from @Qais Attarwala: Hi everyone, Just wanted to start out by saying thank you to everyone in this really supportive community.

You begin depreciating $200k over 27.5 years, starting from 2023.You do a major $50k rehab in 2030.

But when you start getting into the thousands of dollars on this stuff it just feels predatory. 

House hacking a duplex is a solid way to get started in real estate while keeping your living costs low.

You have an excellent jump start- the VA loan is such an amazing tool to get the ball rolling.

And while yes, no one has the same pricing (combination of factors), I also continue to check on a regular basis our rankings and how we "present" on total costs per stay vs. our competitors.My gut says there is price creep and we might have a ways to go before the market really corrects.

Starting a property management company with my brother and my dad was a mix of teamwork, trust, and family dinners doubling as business meetings.

Totally agree.

The total value (purchase price + improvements) must meet or exceed the relinquished property’s value to defer all taxes.

In other words, the employee contribution limit in 2019 is $19k, meaning you can only contribute $19k total between both plans (as the employee).SDIRA contributions do not count towards this $19k.
