I am not a resident of KCMO (and actually never stepped a foot there).

A cost segregation study may allow you to deduct $150k in depreciation expense in the tax year of acquisition.This would create a large tax loss (notably different than an actual operating loss).

I happened to start learning about private equity funds, stakeholder capitalism, and the housing crisis last week and also started getting more active on the BP forums.I posted about struggling with finding investors for syndication and got some good comments about why this is the case for many syndicators right now.One comment referred to something about FEMA flood insurance rate maps and that rang a bell in my head about a random old piece of land I got a few years ago when I was heavily into tax deed auctions in Florida.

My Mom is having an issues with an employee she recently fired, that she is suspecting wrote a bunch of negative reviews on her google account(no actual proof).

The latter is merely an undeveloped piece of land in a residential neighborhood.

It actually still does answer that question and the subject to question.

SO yeah, negates the impact of such fear so saying don't get income producing assets in case of unemployment is actually backwards.

You might even find that at some point you should actual sell that property and/or adjust your portfolio for your retirement.Hope that helps. 

I also have the option of a purchase mortgage with a pledge of the down payment from investments but don’t have to actually put the money down, vs a conventional.

This is actually a great way to start, but there are some implications of in fact this is your intent, as opposed to your intent being for this to remain your personal residence but your circumstances changing.
