To my knowledge, noone in their right mind would lend money for an emd unless they are getting an equity position in the deal.

I work full-time as a CPA audit manager at a Big 4 public accounting firm, and in my free time I would love to help and learn from an experienced investor with strategies similar to what I’m interested in (appreciation, single family (potential multi family), mid-term rental (potential short-term)).Open to any advice as well on how to make my first leap into actual investing!

As I look ahead to the next 5 to 10 years, I’m at a crossroads and could really use some advice from this knowledgeable community.I have two potential paths I’m considering:1.Continue Focusing on Short-Term Rentals (STR):•My plan is to shift towards mid- to high-end vacation rentals with unique characteristics.

Feel free to reach out directly if you want to talk anything through.  

But not trying to go that legal route but they want a full years of free rent about 30K smh!

Thanks, appreciate it   Feel free to use your thread as a sounding board. 

- Total 6 yrs  i.e 4 yrs (75% was rental and 25% primary) + 2yrs (100% primary)- $300k capital gain / 6yrs is the net gain per yr - $200K for 4 rental yrs + $100k for 2 primary yrs- So $150k (75% of $200k) is taxable and the remaining $50K (i.e 25 % primary) + $100K (2 yrs 100% primary) i.e $150k in total will be tax-free?
