At the moments, I'm looking at 2 properties both in California:-  First one is a beautiful, bigger home, completely high-end upgraded, in a higher value area with a good school district, and of course it comes with a higher cost to buy, rent can only cover the monthly expenses (mortgage, insurance, tax, etc), this one is expected to have higher appreciations in the long term.- Second one is a decent remodeled home, smaller, in a lower value area, I can get it without financing (pay cash), so it will cash flow (about $2200/moth after all expenses such as tax and insurance), it also has a potential for an ADU, but future appreciation is not as great as the first property due to location.

I put my own sweat and blood into making the interior and exterior beautiful!

(I can just do more tIRA withdrawals to tweek AGI to suit)2.) 5 yr carry forward of excess deductions - (could use to draw down ~$800k tIRA BEFORE RMD or more Roth rolls)Situation: Very desirable but very hard to sell income property (older (1979) small, low value Mobile home,(home = ~1/6th the value of property - Banks don't lend with that ratio) Beautiful acreage, (3) large shops, pond, barns, Very livable cabin (knotty pine!)

The same developers are the owners of Margaritaville, and they have the same property management requirements there.Reunion - Great location, beautiful homes, 3 championship golf courses, multi-million dollar water park and award winning tennis center - Appears great, but it's hard to make a profit. 

I did a double framed wall with doubled 5/8" drywall on both sides with green glue and double insulation in the middle on my ADU, and it's beautiful.

But that's the beauty of compound interest I guess.

That's a really beautiful ad and I can understand why there's such good engagement with it!

@Bob StevensThat is the beauty of bond investing.

In fact, I would not say anything about remodeling and how you turned the property into beautiful space. 

Beautiful laminate in the living and dining... new ceiling fans too.
