Hello Everyone,Joined a few years back and really like listening to the podcasts on my way to work.

@John Zhang If your wife qualifies for Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) and materially participates in managing rental properties, there is no limit on the amount of rental losses, including depreciation, that can offset your W-2 income.

Clean water, air, peace and sunshine are nature's remedies and in over-abundance on the Oregon Coast. 

If you have extra cash at the end of the month, then do double up payments on the mortgages so the principle is reduced and this will increase your heloc room.

Instead, focus on improving your marketing and responsiveness.

This deal aligned perfectly with my strategy to build equity and cash flow while leveraging hard money financing and refinance opportunities.

Buying a new primary residence has nothing to do with the capital gains exclusion.It is when you go to sell the new house down the line you'll run into a problem.

If all of them have a garage and yours does not that will either put you at a lower ARV then what you thought, or a longer time on market.

But in general, your biggest risks are not necessarily what's the maximum rent you can get, but can you find a reliable tenant that will always pay and pay on-time.

And just like today, for ever 1 doing, there were 99 talking about doing, someday, when it's "perfect" and how they'll time the market......
