One says there are many tax benefits to owning real estate even with my income and others say I won't see any benefit or possibly negative!

Of course you see it all the time, but it's a simple, no brainer adjustment to the nearest 100 to avoid potential delays.But these are not delays that realtors or consumers hear about, they just experience the end result in closing days delays that were in part do to the time and effort it took along the loan process to get an appraisal changed, a title commitment revised, etc.On the mortgage side, we ALL know of the issues those oddball final sales price amounts not rounded, can mushroom into!

There can be no direct or indirect benefit between an IRA and a disqualified party. 

Apparently there is a benefit to having an LLC in Montana vs Maryland where I live.

This is actually also a benefit sometimes if you plan to take an active roll in the association you might have more control over turning around or improving an ailing condo association. 

Be careful to make sure any IRA transactions done with him do not benefit you personally. . 

I may have misread this article https://www.bna.com/new-calculations-unrelated-b73014473901/andhttps://www.cupahr.org/5-changes-to-unrelated-business-income-tax-and-fringe-benefits-rules-under-the-new-tax-law/

I only found .05% on their site.Thanks It wasn't an intro rate, I was actually at 1.15% and noticed their rates bumped up so I asked their customer support and they adjusted my rate to 1.85%.

instead, it is capitalized by an adjustment to basis.If the renovation was done to make a unit of the property ready and available for rent, then the renovation cost is also capitalized, not deducted. 

Hot market, you could adjust up from 70%, slow market adjust down.
