We are super close to the Hard Rock Casino, and the stadium where the Dolphins play is only a few miles away as well.

The bonus/silver lining is my toddler now thinks I "like to work on roofs for fun."

It's a good opportunity specially at your age, you will learn and get pay is a bonus.

That way, you get all of the accounting capabilities with the added bonus of other useful features.

FHA 3.5% down first, then Conventional 5% down Home Possible (if you qualify) 2nd, and then you still have your full VA entitlement to use 3rd with 0 down, and then if you still have bonus/secondary entitlement left over, you can use VA again for your 4th property. 

As an alternative you can invest in syndications that offer large first year bonus depreciation (as Charlie Jacques recommended).

We used tax returns, saved the part above the last rank when we got promoted, and career bonus we got...it all went into the pot for the next down payment. 

Oh, it would be investing in a casino.

It’s marketed as a 3 bedroom but realistically it’s more like a 2 bedroom since the bonus room is through the masters.

Added bonus this gives you a bit of safety margin by creating an equity cushion.
