It's easy to obtain, costs very little, and doesn't require extra, on-going effort to maintain.

I'm just beginning but am considering a bigger commitment in the next five years or so by accessing some or even all retirement funds to buy a building (I'm sure people have thoughts on whether or not that is a good idea!).

It's very easy to set up your accounts and to set up sub-accounts for each property if you want to, which is what I do.

I understand the obvious reasons, but he has not been easy to explain the reasons why I would like it off my husband and I's joint returns.

When it comes to analyzing properties, I’ve developed a specific checklist to make sure the home fits both resident needs and operational goals:Square Footage: Ideally, at least 2,000 sq. ft. to ensure enough living space for residents and staff.No Stairs or Pools: It reduces liability and keeps the home accessible for everyone (this is just my preference).Corner Lots: I love corner lots because they often provide extra parking and outdoor space—both of which are critical for families and visitors.

This is an easy answer for me!!!  

Lots of gurus advertising how easy it is in order to sell a course or whatever else.

IF IT'S ANYTHING IT'S A SCAM BECAUSE THEY'D BE MAKING SO MUCH MONEY THEY'D NEVER THINK ABOUT TELLING YOU ABOUT IT.WHEN THE NUMBER IS $3000, $6000, $8000, OR $10,000 DOLLARS---- then it is ALL COMPLETELY WORTHLESS FOUND IN BOOKS OR IF YOU CALLED PEOPLE YOU KNOW IN THE BUSINESS (LIKE REAL ESTATE AGENTS).NONE OF IT'S EASY.
