good afternoon, closed on our first duplex the other week, hopefully many more to come

Are there any tax benefits from donating this land? 

In my case, I have residential rentals in one LLC, commercial properties in another, self storage in a third, and my real estate company operates in a fourth.

One way to get tax benefits while you're living there could be installing solar panels or upgrading the energy efficiency of the home. 

My wife is a first generation Mexican immigrant and she loves real estate.

While there are definitely benefits to running a fund, it's tough to achieve success with funds as a beginner because oftentimes investors are attracted to the track record of the person or team running the fund. 

In addition to direct real estate, I invest fairly heavily in index funds.  

It was a gut punch to see the tenants whose income we were counting on mass exodus the building right after we closed Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I was planning on building the home in the traditional stick built style in my budget but am wondering if doing prefab may save some money/have other benefits.

Most of you will have equity in your real estate holdings.
