When you are withdrawing from a mutual fund, you are eating away at the asset. 

Just post a image capture of the numbers.Taxes are going to eat you on that property, but then again so will any other property.

BUT taxes and HOA fees are really eating in to our income in the last few years.

If its a group we want to host - we just tell them "Unfortunately, for insurance purposes, we're required to collect an underage rental fee of $250 for groups under the age of 26 - we're willing to eat half of that though if you can pay the $125."

I don't like salt because it eats up the concrete if used too heavily.

I have a 100k nest egg that I want to use to invest or buy a home and the price of real estate in LA is astronomically high, even if I want to house hack.

But an EAT where the Qi takes title and you improve the property would work if the tax savings justify the cost.

@Justin Furtado can’t have your cake and eat it too.

A stray rental not close by can eat up cash flow-Mentioning non- homestead and high taxes, is the property in Texas?

What are the permit fees, impact fees etc.You definitely do not want to use hard money for a project like this the interest cost will eat your profits very quickly.
