We plan to acquire rental RE every year anyways so might as well reduce our taxable income for that year to allow us to have more capital upfront to reinvest sooner vs just paying to Uncle Sam where we never see it again. 

Right now as it sits 40% of homeowners across American have 0 balance on their home, and 61% of the national average has 50% or more in equity.

IF I had electric I would use actual security cameras but the place I do usually no not Signs warning electronic surveillance equipment American flag with bright solar lights on it If possible simple corral driveway gate locked with posted signs and Electronic Surveillance camera sign on it Dawn to disk solar lights on house I think the idea is to make your house less desirable to break into than your neighbors 

Fwiw, i think most people dont understand how expensive “suing” is but i think its a phrase  we as Americans use.  

@Sam Alkattan Is your broker not a mentor to you?

All well and good, thank you Uncle Sam.

FB User: "Hi Sam, is this still available?"

American Home Shield specifically was called out to repair a fridge at one of our properties.

This is why some people don't like flips as an investment as close to or more than 50% goes to Uncle Sam and your State, depending.

It amazes me how many Americans have bad debt.
