The reason to do so is not necessarily to reduce cost but to be efficient.

I'm going to reduce my rent by $100 as this ratio seems abysmal (quite literally a 0% ratio in view-to-application). 

Quote from @Irma Leibas: Quote from @Jaycee Greene: @Irma Leibas Many of my clients that do mid to heavy rehab projects have contractor credit cards from Home Depot or Lowe's, which reduces the amount of upfront capital needed for the rehab. 

Hi members,I recently met my CFP and he concluded that after all these years of accumulation in 401k it's time to take steps to minimize taxes and reduce/eliminate RMD. 

This is particularly effective when paired with bonus depreciation provisions.This method not only helps reduce your tax liability but also enhances cash flow, making it a powerful tool for real estate investors looking to grow their portfolios.3.

If you're comfortable taking on more effort for bigger rewards, BRRRR might be the way to go.From a tax perspective, BRRRR may be better because you can potentially benefit from accelerated depreciation on the property, which can help reduce your taxable income and give you a bigger tax advantage compared to a turnkey property.

This is NOT passive, it requires you to create systems and deal with all the complexities that a business entails.Reasons to manage your own properties: 1.You are an effective manager and for the most part enjoy people. 2.You want to reduce vacancy and expenses (after the property has been repaired my vacancy rate is below 2%).3.You want to start your own business and instill a certain “culture” at your properties.

Looking forward to seeing your portfolio grow.Feel free to drop me a note if you need any help with cost segregation (how to reduce your taxable income using advanced depreciation).Chris Schmidt-Löffler

I ran into this recent TurboTax article  that led me to believe it was possible: Second, you may have a net operating loss (NOL) if the Section 1231 loss is large enough to reduce your other income below zero.

Some policies have vacancy clauses, and if the property is empty for, say, 60 or 90 days, your coverage may be reduced and you may not have the coverage you think you have.
