@Nathaniel C. that's a great question and it shows you're planning smart by thinking ahead about the tax implications.

WOW this is super smart. 

Using a turnkey condo for short-term rentals on weekends while reducing your commute could be smart, as long as STR income covers costs and local regulations allow it.From tax perspective, if you personally use the STR as you intend, you cannot create losses under vacation home rules.

Texas is affordable, but we are seeing supply increase and demand decrease.Sales are down 8% YOY and average time on market is up 35% YOY.Prices the past 3 months have been slashed pretty substantially.Be safe, invest smart.

It's tough when unexpected costs pop up, but those experiences definitely make us sharper for the next deal.Switching gears from renting to selling was a smart move given the circumstances.

Also we plan to have the ADUs handicap/wheelchair accessible on the first floor.

Expanding your portfolio in Indiana could be smart due to lower property prices and possibly higher cash flow.

I do think new investors suffer from an overabundance of short-term thinking right now.Regarding number 2, I think your takeaway to buy smart is different than a result of wanting to buy more.

You have come to the right place to begin your investing journey.Awesome board with many smart people having own suggestions and ideas to grow wealth!!

very smart we do this for our underwriting
