I've never spent good hard earned %'s on anything...only good hard earned $$$$. 

I earn in the USA, fipe taxes in the US but I don't have a job in the USA. 

Either enjoy depreciation now and pay more capital gains later (or 1031); or have reduced write offs now with less gains upon selling. 

You will not get a better return with rentals, unless you are buying junk, with flipping you might but it would be a big risk and in my opinion not worth it when you have a great guaranteed return at your fingertips.A penny saved is a penny earned.

I absolutely realize that all that gain and my initial investment will have to come out of my IRA at some point and it will come out at Earned Income Rates, not Cap-Gain Rates.  

@Rupert GrantAs you probably already know Solo 401k plan is not for everyone - you must have legitimate self-employment activity or business with earned income in order to qualify for it.

Doing this you will reduce your tenant locks outs as well as lower your lock change cost at every turnover from him on out.Don't accept personal checks.

I am interested to learn more about how many of you are earning income from military communities and if any of you are interested in partnering with installations around the world.

It seems like IF the majority of my income came from flips, I would easily be a "dealer," but if I only have done 1 flip, could that flip income be counted as an investor since flipping isn't the bulk of the business I do, or income I earn?
