It was an incredible deal.

“From x to y by when” is an incredible formula for success...it also means you’ve figured out x, y, and when

This post is incredible, thank you!

It all seems incredibly fun and I can't wait to truly start.

Real Estate is still incredibly cheap and rents are high relative to property costs. 

No long term equity gain and deal flow is running thin  .We are looking to scale to within 5 yrs, $1,5-$2m equity, $6-8m value, and $75k/yr cash flow  great credit, incredible k1 real estate investments but figuring out next stage of life  However, we are looking to take our vision, establish additional $3m personal capital, and $20m in lending value. 

We are incredibly bullish on Phoenix for years to come!

The goverment wants people to provide housing to others.Corporate tax rates were slashed and pass-through deductions were implemented in the TCJA to promote entrepreneurship and start ups.Energy-efficient tax credits exist to encourage people to go green and purchase environment-friendly goods and products.I don't need to explain why there is an abundance of oil and gas tax credits and deductions.Where you see a tax credit or deduction, a trained eye sees an opportunity.If you (or someone you hire) knows the tax code, how to read it, and how to apply it, you are able to structure your investments, businesses, and financial moves in a tax-efficient manner.So, I guess, to answer your question - in my opinion, the tax code is fair but only if you know how to navigate it.Again, this is an overly simplistic summarization.

@Jesse Lynch this is incredibly market specific.

The main reason someone would choose a 2nd in a low interest rate environment would be to avoid a prepayment penalty associated with the 1st.
