Never invest in Longterm assets with short term debt.  

The 401k is a valuable asset but its my thought that I can use this asset to further increase my portfolio by putting that money to better use.

This is an alternative approach for newly constructed buildings.RESIDUAL ESTIMATION APPROACHThis approach determines the cost of short-lived assets, such as 5 or 7 year property and subtracts them from the total project cost.

While this is municipality dependent, if the contractor is not licensed you likely cannot obtain the necessary permits and approvals.

I have liquid assets and want to make smart, scalable investments that balance cash flow, appreciation, and low risk.GoalsGenerate consistent cash flow to diversify my income.Maximize appreciation potential for long-term wealth growth.Invest in areas with low crime rates to minimize risk.Reduce my tax burden for 2024 with real estate purchases.My Current ThoughtsI’m torn between two main strategies:Multifamily Properties:Looking at markets like Austin, Raleigh, and Tampa for 10-50 unit multifamily properties.Love the scalability and centralized management, but I'm concerned about high upfront costs and competition.Section 8 Housing:Considering affordable markets like Memphis, Cleveland, or Indianapolis to purchase 5-10 single-family homes.I like the government-backed rent stability, but managing multiple properties across different locations seems intensive.Key QuestionsWhich strategy would you recommend for my goals and liquidity?

While they were good about obtaining a refund, etc., it still took time (and all communication is via chat or email, for me, chat was easier).

We didn't because we needed to provide POS in order to obtain our STR permit being that previous owner had a permit on the property already.

This also allows for property owners to more easily write-off assets that get damaged/destroyed as the value of these assets is determined as part of the study.

@Cristal Ochoa @Leiah DotlichI will preface this with the fact that I have a legal background, specifically with estate planning and asset protection.

.- Unrecaptured falls under section 1250 and is treated as ordinary gains and capped at 25%- My capital gain from appreciation and improvements under section 1231 was treated as a long term capital gain since I owned both assets over a year.Hope this helps.
