I recently bought an 8-unit building and I am remodeling the units are they become available.

I would prefer to synch up and build a relationship with a broker/agency.

Haha,I was famous there once upon a time - https://9now.nine.com.au/the-block/i-doubled-my-money-on-aus...Negative gearing is buying a property where the rent doesn't cover your mortgage.You tally up the total monthly losses and let's say you where negative $30,000 for that year.You earn $100,000 from your salary that year.But you would only pay income tax on $70,000 as your property was negatively geared by $30,000 for that year.Make sense?

Just buy it in your name and then by time you rehab it and sell it if it’s two years then you can possibly get capital gains exemptionsNotLegal or tax advice

I've developed a few sites that were 5 acres plus industrial builds.

Maybe try starting out as a admin assistant for a PM company first; just something to get your foot in the door and start building your experience. 

Had a similar situation, inherited a tenant from a former building owner, where the 3br rent was $550 month. 

I utilize these products but more for commercial multifamily where they build in an interest only period, 30 year amortization schedule, and the bank funds as much as 100% of the construction costs.

I really don't care to be distracted by your tax break straw dog - although I could debate how bad our tax policies are generally as I favor a flat tax and therefore eliminating all tax breaks. 

Not having a mortgage is very powerful.I also like buying properties in my ROTH IRA and not ever owing any further tax or capital gains.
