Now with 29 SFR, I don’t need much in emergency $ because the rentals generate 19k/month profit.

., selling a non-grouped rental property in a taxable sale to a non-related party, both current and suspended passive activity losses generated by that activity can be deducted. 

During this time you are not generating any return from the money invested in the ADU.

The main reason to do a cost seg study is to generate bonus depreciation, which creates passive losses.

It might be worth quite a bit, depending on how much cash flow it is generating.

@Ben Cochran I hope you have factored STR tax savings into your cashflow and ROI as it can be significant.Leveraging equity to purchase a short-term rental (STR) in Tampa Bay can diversify your portfolio and potentially generate strong cash flow, but it also increases your financial risk.While your properties hold significant equity, adding debt from HELOCs or a DSCR loan could strain your finances if STR performance fluctuates or costs rise.

Here’s why and what alternatives might exist:Real Estate Syndication or Fund: Invest in funds that generate passive rental income, which can offset Schedule E losses.Real Estate Professional (REPS): Qualify for REPS to reclassify rental losses as non-passive, allowing them to offset active income.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Instead of tying up your capital in a high-cost primary residence, consider taking the would-be down payment and investing it in out-of-state properties.This strategy allows you to diversify your portfolio across multiple assets, spreading risk while potentially generating cash flow and building equity in appreciating markets.

Anywhere in the world.Purchasing a property in Mexico was a long, yet valuable experience because of what you learn in the process.Now we are acquiring more in Mexico because of the value you can purchase for and the income that can be generated.

I use the 1% rule to quickly assess if a property is likely to generate enough income to cover its costs and potentially provide a profit - it's a guideline - so, don't miss out on good investment property by being rigid when applying the "guideline" to rental properties.
