The two options I have considered, are high yield online savings accounts (found some with 1.6%-2.3% APY) OR bank with an E*Trade account or something similar to double dip, and have my money in an account with higher interest returns and easy investing/trading options.

Since it’s not my first property, I think I can deduct operating costs on Schedule E without worrying about “date placed in service” issue, but I also read it here on the forum that the related rehab cost should better be placed on line 19 (Other list) on Schedule E, otherwise, it may affect Debt-to-Income calculation when it comes to refinancing.

I use Sch E for my rental income properties.

I agree, in just a short amount of time, the R/E market has come to almost a complete halt.

When I speak of the E/E strategies, I'm referring to specifically how the money (your cash) enters and exits the deal.Every property will have varying final costs to the REI, depending on the strategy they use to enter the deal.
