Then on the other side, place burns down and the named insured is John Doe, additional insureds don’t apply to property losses (only liability).

@Mike Flora  I was at J Martins last Oakland event.. and Bruce Norris did the keynote and I sat with Sean at dinner.Bruce likes SFR and half the Q and A for him was exactly that when is the crash coming and how deep will it be.his comments now were geared towards west coast but I do believe they are germane in many markets.He feels a market is not heading down until 20 to 30% or more of MLS is foreclosure acitivty or short sales and in our area that boat has sailed.. there is very little of either.He did mention though that he felt MF was  to use his words  " FROTHY"  his statement was when he talks to other MF owners and ask them would you buy your property for what you could sell it for today or a like kind one.. it was a resounding NO.. which to him or his point was he felt it was over valued and at some risk for moving backwards.. and from my VERY limited knowledge on MF I suspect that only happens in an over build situation to many doors not enough renters and you have rental bonus wars..

If your employer offers a contribution match, take advantage of that but only to the match limit.

Account Closed mortgages are usually created by mortgage brokers (especially due to new limitations set forth in the Dodd Frank act from what I understand) and mortgages are amortized over a certain period of time. 

The expenditures included in the total acquisition cost must be fully documented by theborrower.When the installment land contract was executed more than 12 months before the date of theloan application, Fannie Mae will consider the mortgage loan to be a limited cash-out refinance.In this case, the LTV ratio for the mortgage loan must be determined by dividing the new loanamount by the appraised value of the property at the time the new mortgage loan is closed.

Deductible SEP-IRA contributions are distinct from depreciation - while depreciation represents "paper losses," SEP-IRA contributions represent real changes to to your business and personal cash-flow; the money contributed to a SEP are real dollars that can only be used by the SEP.

I know is going to be super difficult to rent to a single family due to the price and we cannot afford to have any vacancy nor losses.

@Alfred LittonLLC's are considered pass-through entities so the income/losses earned by the LLC are allocated among the members of the LLC.Ex - LLC earns $50,000 of income where the LLC is owned by 2 members owning 50% in the profit and loss of the LLC.The members would then report $25,000 on each of their individual return.The members report the income regardless of whether the LLC distributes money or not.A couple of things you may want to look into.1) Are you required to file a partnership return?

@Karen Higgins Short answer: If you OR your husband are not a 'real estate professional' then unfortunately there is a limit to how much of the passive losses created by depreciation (accelerated or not) can be used to offset your 'active' income.
