We verified their income from those properties and discussed their renting policies.

However, given that the STR it is technically ‘attached’ to my Primary residence, could I still offset loss years against my W-2 income?

It works kind of like Venmo in that you can either pay a small fee to have the money deposit right away into your account or go the no-fee route and have the money deposited about 5 business days after it posts.

I'll surely take all of it into account.

From what I can tell, Charleston is considered a Growth market, Columbia an Income Market, and Greenville appears to be a hybrid (this is what I'm looking for). 

The only way I could see you do that is if the property paid your husband for the work, but then you would have to claim the labor income on your return. 

@Monica C.I've invested in a little more than 10 separate syndications with about as many different leads.The one thing I appreciate the most is those asset manager who are willing to send out monthly charts of actual vs pro-forma income and expenses.That's not to say that they are always within budget, because they usually aren't, but they at least show a level of honesty and accountability as well as showing progress.I'm invested in some deals that publish very few KPIs if any at all.

The rental income just sits there in a non-interest bearing account until I invest in something.

I track everything at the "buy" on a spreadsheet as far as income, expenses, CoC return, ROI and have another spreadsheet to estimate and track all rehab costs.

@Zach Knoll I sure hope you didn't pay for one of those syndication mastermind courses that sells you on the belief you can assemble all of the components and educate a bunch of random's on how to empty their IRA account to fund your deals.
