You'll also hear people talk about cost segregation & depreciation, which are great, but not everyone is in a position where they can maximize the benefits of depreciation.Also bear in mind that it doesn't need to be either-or.

My thought would be househack with minimum cash contribution, force some equity, then do a rate/term refinance roll in costs and get refunded your escrow balance and another $2k at closing. 

For a free financial software program also adaptable for real estate ownership you can use WAVE.   

As many investors are aware, a cost segregation study is a very beneficial tax planning tool that can create a very quick ROI.

I think the one thing that Airbnb doesn't mention much that is taking away from their business is the spike in direct booking platforms for the top performing hosts and competition from VRBO /Booking.com/Other Niche OTAs.

The good news would be that expanding to a bigger holding tank is not as costly as replacing a whole spectic system (especially a mound system).

Hi Zack,Are you looking for a paid mentorship program or someone to mentor you for free?

I acquired a townhouse in 2022 on a small street of about 40 other homes.  I was initially told there was an HOA but eventually found out it's not active and there's a lady who lives somewhere on the street that pays ...

I guess it comes down to whether or not I can save for both - down payment and costs for my personal residence as well as an investment property.

What are some realistic numbers on upfront $$, creative financing, carrying costs, etc?
