You can file it at any point in the year and the adjustment will go against future taxes, sometimes eliminating the next few quarterly payments or more.

As I intend to bring A trusted lender with me for future purchases it would almost be like the bank making a continuous stream of income in away. 

I buy and sell homes in the (area) and I was wondering who you know that is thinking of moving in the near future?"

So for future that looks strong.

@David McPhailWelcome to BP, and congratulations on making the decision to invest in your future via real estate.I have written a few blog posts that may help you get started here on BP, and with your investing.

Maybe in the future when I have generated enough positive cash flow I will look into these other areas of investing.If anyone has any ideas on how I can resell the land on terms using seller financing although I am currently paying on a contract for deed, let me know. 

I want this to be a springboard into the future, not a crutch, or worse, a hobble.

Hi @Gregory Kawa just wanted to warn you about the new legislations in Palm Springs which can prevent short term rentals in near future.
