Real Estate, Wellness, and Community ImpactAs I move into 2025, I’m focused on deepening my faith and prioritizing wellness, mental health, self-control, and discipline.

Well, the latest "clarification" of the vague memo is that "rental assistance programs" are exempt from the pause - so I am expecting payments to arrive as usual.

Airbnb.org, the nonprofit arm of airbnb.com, offers hosts options to assist with emergency housing in times of crisis, such as the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.

A 1031 exchange doesn’t apply, but funding through a self-directed IRA can defer taxes, though profits from debt financing may trigger UBIT.To reduce taxes, consider forming an LLC for better expense deductions, offsetting gains with investment losses, or holding the property for 12+ months to qualify for lower long-term capital gains rates.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I can share more insights in the near future, but I believe it also assists with estimating flips.

Many opt for other investing methods in their SDIRA like private lending, crypto, private equity...anything except collectibles and life insurance.Note that a Solo 401k is exempt from UBIT on leveraged real estate so if you have self employment activity and no full time employees save for you and your spouse you should consider the Solo K as an option. 

If you had $50K in a Self direct IRA how would you leverage that to yield short and long term dividends? 

I analyze every opportunity as if it were my own and connect my clients with the right resources to build wealth through real estate.I’m always looking to network with like-minded individuals, help new investors get started, and assist experienced investors in finding cash-flowing properties.

Managing self-employment income requires tracking eligible deductions like business expenses, home office use, and retirement contributions.

@Jerry Chilimidos, I see that you are self-employed.
