Just keep in mind that entertainment expenses—like taking clients out for a show or a game—aren’t deductible anymore.And, yes, you can deduct 100% of your education expenses if you’re already a real estate investor.

Some/many lenders don't like a 2nd mortgage behind their first (like the skin in the game), however there are both bridge or permanent financing options out there allowing you to leverage anywhere from 90% CLTV - 100% CLTV, but don't expect good terms...

Primarily, portfolios consisting of stocks, ETFs, and/or mutual funds.There are a few ways to mitigate the risk with this sort of LOC.

I was also considering the REI expo in February so maybe I'll see you there.You're a self-proclaimed novice but I think many other members of the community would agree that you're well on your way given your potential cashflowing rental and equity.You seem to have a strong position which would allow you to keep growing your portfolio in the next few years.I'd recommend diversifying your RE portfolio the same way you're diversifying with other investments (REITs, Stocks, bonds etc.).

Beyond the lessons from the projects themselves, building a business that’s efficient, diversified, and focused on the luxury market has been a game-changer.

They make it easier to scale your portfolio and build wealth. 

After 12 years in the furnished rental game, I'd say that is a pretty good sample size. 

But since you will be able to finance with LTVs, potentially higher leverage may be used and can scale the portfolio faster with the right strategy. 

Game changer.

Try again in 2026.It's a long game.
