I'm paying about the same to live in my house as I was splitting a 1-bedroom apartment with a roommate, but now I'm seeing that appreciation, sweat equity, and tax benefits you touched on.I love reading comments and posts like yours to give me a refresher on why I got into a house hack in the first place.

Hi all, Do you guys pay income tax on the rental properties you own in the city of Cleveland?

On the other hand, a SFH is generally farther from the water (I'm trying to stay within golf cart distance to the beach), has less amenities than a condo, and higher property taxes, but seems like it would offer more appreciation than a condo.

Good choice :)Being able to start a journey of deferring that tax will compound for you as long as you keep the new properties or do a 1031 whenever you sell one. 

What I mean by this is considering how much your down payment returns to your net worth (appreciation, loan paydown, tax benefits, AND rent avoidance).

If you combine them then the courts (and tax courts) deem it a loan and cause a foreclosure action and you to be taxed differently than if it was a lease property.
