Taxes/Accounting is not my strong suit so I do leave that to professionals, and at my size I do need all of the functions of Quickbooks. 

Quote from @Vincent Pflieger: Hey everyone,I’ll keep this short and would love to hear from investors who have successfully leveraged a HELOC to scale their real estate portfolio for both short-term cash flow and long-term wealth building.I’m about to unlock $200-250K in HELOC from my primary residence (a condo in NYC), and I know there’s a powerful strategy I can implement.My current plan:✅ Acquire a 10-15 unit multifamily in a mid-sized market (AL, TN, OH, etc.), targeting a $700-800K deal with value-add potential.✅ Use 20% from my HELOC for the down payment and finance the rest with hard money.✅ Force appreciation over 6 months, then refinance into a DSCR loan to pay off the HELOC.✅ Rinse and repeat!

did you know that banks have their own font and font size (so its like creating your own currency, if you do it and use the right people you will know). 

The specific market you find properties in defines those numbers, and they are NOT specific to a general size. 

This doesn’t seem right given my marginal tax rate and the size of the adjustment.Questions: How can I properly deduct the full $36,000 catch-up adjustment to maximize my tax savings?

Explain what goes into the pricing...school districts, direction of the home (some ethnic groups like East/North), style, size or whatever you need to explain to a 5 year old....tile roof vs asphalt or whatever.   

Civil engineering becomes larger part of the project as the projects grow in size.

Purchase price: $325,000 Cash invested: $80,000 Good sized three family property with small lot on fairly busy main road.

The alternative is typically to search for private lenders at 10% and 2% and who hopefully won't run out of money after one deal. 2) indeed, they are typically a 6-12 month term with no pre-payment penalty and the lender wants you to pay it off ASAP (and do another one)3) you are referring to loan size to ARV (LTARV) and one can easily get to 70% here and 75% is also possible in certain cases.

Ofcourse, as a percent soft costs would depend on the size of the project as some of the costs don't scale with the size.
