Then you can sell tax free, even better than deductions. 

In the market in which interest rates are still “affordable”, and demand is strong, it is likely that sub to or owner financing of a free and clear property would only take place if the subject property was not financable or the seller wanted a price significantly above market value.These type of transactions are significantly more prevalent in the commercial real estate world, especially when the subject property is a “special purpose” property like a marina, golf course, church, or event center.  

So increasing borrowing rate is like having a trigger but if you don’t put any bullets in the gun (reducing money supply), you are not going to get farI have used this analogy in the past but getting inflation down to 2% is like someone who gained 50 pounds quickly and wants to lose it.

The lease goes through the end of June, but it looks like they are trying to get a month free.

Feel free to PM me if I can help you.

I saw the 2024 limits for giving a gift tax free is 18k..

At that point, it was a "live for free" investment.

We want to buy a single-family home as close to debt-free as possible and then use leverage after that point.

If the downpayment + closing cost is free, and you are doing a triple net lease to keep any repairs on the tenant in the next ten years, it may be worth the trouble.

You should, that's the best thing about STR, you can get free use out of them.
