@Samuel Coronado My experience with building lot purchases is they’re usually only worth what you pay for them once.

You would still get the tax write offs, the depreciation, and the market appreciation.  

I noticed on Zillow that asbestos was listed as a building material, but I didn't pay attention to it until my insurance agent mentioned it.

I'm in Canada and if you put 20% down or more, you don't have to pay it and it is pricey.

If yes, offsetting personal taxes as ‘benefit’ of owning real estate is not really an easy thing right?

One unit to pay the mortgage and the other for my pocket!

I'm saying this because later someone might give you tax advice - get with a CPA. 

Here's what I got going on so farCreated my Company "Coastal Sunrises" which focuses on STR Management/co-hosting, and am in the building process right now for my systems and I'm essentially looking to build every one of them to scale with so I am okay with taking a hit to profits immediately if that means paying employees/va's while I'm not managing a ton of properties.

Short answer - tenant pays.Long answer - landlord pays because tenant has no money to pay that's why they are on section 8.

Income tax is of course 0%.
