I recently went to my personal bank (the one that I have the HELOC from,) looking to refi my existing HELOC with the idea that I could reduce the rate a bit, and increase the monies available at the same time, giving me more capital to work with for future purchases.For the first time in my life, I was declined. 

And since I email to this group once a month, I have significantly reduced the number of bounce backs, etc.2.

In particular the stress level of managing the property.

After leaving the army, i had to live with my parents who stressed that I needed to have my own place at my age specially after leaving the army.

That would greatly reduce your risk and add to your potential upside. 

Rarely will they reduce their cost to take that little bit of work out too. 

However, last year's taxes got me looking at how to reduce my tax burden for 2021, specifically by purchasing a truck for only rental property use and using the Section 179 deduction.Here's my question: shouldn't I be able to claim my rental income as business income?

Life is short don’t spend it stressing about a property that is causing you problems every month.We want to help people. 

Buildable lot flipping can offer low stress profits imo.
