My thoughts on this would be - when you're taking out all money that you have invested into a property AND the property has enough equity that any loan fees can also be covered through the refinance AND the property still cash flows, you're getting an investment with no cash of your own.  

@Laurieann Frazier-Duarte feedback:1) How many competing rental properties have you toured to evaluate how your home compares?

If so, how do I get around this or at least make it to where only the rental income from the property is taxable locally? 

I am trying to buy first property to house hack, live in for 1 year, and buy another.

I received a notice from my rental property insurance carrier that they will not renew my insurance policy covering my rental unit.

Curious and excited to learn some things about multifamily properties (duplexes currently).

I am an OOS investor interested in the Columbus area and would really appreciate the maps if you are willing to share: @Marc Rice @Zeke ListonDo you all know of any good realtor who can walk the property for an OOS investor?

I just turned 55 and have 33 rentals and 135 storage units.You may be better off buying as many properties as possible for the next 5-10 years, then paying them off, starting with the smallest mortgage and working up to your largest.

The 1245 property (think personal property and bonus depreciation) is recaptured at ordinary tax rates though… so the new property must have an equal amount or more 1245 property. 

Do you own any investment properties?
