Hello everyone,I am debating purchasing a single-family residence to rent out primarily for the tax deduction benefits. 

We live in a military area and hope to benefit from the high turn-over renters.

The key here is (1) the seller is motivated ( desperate ) enough to give up control of his property to someone who has little if any capital invested, while receiving no money upfront himself and still maintaining liability on his mortgage, and/or (2) the seller is convinced that you will be successful AND that his risk is small AND that he will receive future benefits.

I'm looking for the greatest tax benefit.

But truly self-directed Solo 401k offers really unique benefits/advantages and can be used in conjunction with your other assets to help you build wealth.

So, from what you’ve stated, all investments within an opportunity zone must be made by 2026 to receive the deferral benefit of the original?

Also, when factoring in your long term CAP EX, don't forget to include the offsetting deprecation tax benefit that pays for those future expenses over the long term.

It benefits ME as much as them.

They had explained that one member of the family had a diagnosed condition which would benefit from a service dog (sorry to be vague, but I'm not sure if saying the actual diagnosis is illegal).  

Post back, you will like the results, and others will benefit from this knowledge. :)
