I have a W2 job in a high tax bracket, but we are planning on owning Airbnb’s that my wife actively manages along with her working as a real estate agent...Our goal was to have her materially involved so that we could write off potential losses against my W2 income.

Think all the expenses and potential income of the property.

And potentially you can open another LLC that is the Airbnb Business that rents from you as the owner to try and write off a little more and try and get a double tax break but it's twice the work.

You might also meet someone that could be a potential business partner.

Here, you'll be able to sift through potential callers on your own and maybe even try them out for a short time before making a commitment.

Here are some insights and potential options to consider:Policy Limitations: It's not uncommon for mortgage lenders to have policies that only allow transfers to an LLC under specific circumstances, such as if the property is your primary residence.

Any pointers on how should I run numbers to compare two cases.Case 1:  Rent home A, Buy Home B @7.5%, with potential refinance at 3.5-4% ( ifff thats feasible ) after 2 years, once the rates are down. ( i know high hopes , but I dont think 7.5% is the new normal ).Case 2: Sell the home, get equity out, pay the whole equity ( dont know if thats wise ) towards downpayment of home B, reducing loan amount to approx 320k. 

Make sure you have a solid team around you, and you feel comfortable evaluating potential deals.

I would love to connect with Multi family investors, developers, etc. to potentially collaborate with while building my network.

If you're hiring a property manager, then they should help place a potential tenant for you.
