I currently work full-time, raising 2 kids with my husband, with the dream that I can quit my job one day and take control of my time and future.

Doesn't align with our values but illustrates that rents have to go up to keep future redevelopment at bay.  

There are no real wholesalers in the group, and very few people doing free and clear transactions, at least that I know of, and the average level of the knowledge about real estate of any of those "Bid Dogs" attending the masterminds is very low, or almost non existent, as most of them are new members.Phil preaches that they are experts because the know just a little be more about real estate investment than the average guy, but the reality is that is all smoke and mirrors, and they feed and prey upon people expectations to improve their lives, creating false expectations about people being able to make money the easy way, with no credit or money to start with.

Also, people often expect a better return than 5% over the long run from their 401k.

This can reduce your taxable income for the year.Carrying Forward Unused Losses: If your total capital losses exceed your total capital gains plus the allowable deduction against other income (currently up to $3,000 for individuals or $6,000 for married couples filing jointly), you can carry forward the unused portion of your capital losses to future tax years.Regarding your question about deferring capital losses into 2023 and using them to offset capital gains in that year, yes, you can typically carry forward unused capital losses from previous years and use them in future years, even if you had capital gains in those previous years.So, if you choose not to use all of your capital losses from 2022 to offset your income in that year, you can carry forward the remaining losses to 2023 and use them to offset capital gains you expect to have in that year.

We opened for bookings April 1, have had 3 completed stays with 2 future bookings scheduled.  

They charge 8% and I have the option to self manage in the future but I will keep it as is for first year. 

However after all the work thats required which includes landscape, parking lot, fencing lighting and interior/exterior work, it looks like the presumed cost of remodeling it will be double that, although Im not positive (still taking bids).Ive priced a comparable property in our area which has similar square footage and lot size and they seem to be going between $700-800k, and so my question is: based on a higher than expected construction cost which is necessary to finish our project, one which will exceed the amount of money of what a similar property goes for in our neighbrhood, should I continue with this project, or an alternative plan would be to simply beautify it for approximately 100-150k and ditch the plans, and flip it instead for approximately 700-800k now that its zoned commercial.My fear is that if I do invest the moneys to finish the project over the budget I initially priced it for, and the business doesnt take off, I would initially lose money on this investment.Thank you for taking the time reading this.

As one whom does mortgages for a living (and is a bit of an anal control freak with such things) I expected professional courtesy of being a little more transparent with the UW and Title items going on in the background.  

I think I'll hang off from building an ADU and maybe an alternative is to just purchase more property in the future then!
