It's similar to how you report it for tax purposes in years where you aren't selling it, you report 50% (or whatever % is allocable to each side) as rental property and depreciate that 50% while the other 50% is your own personal residence and therefore is not part of Schedule E.

But I've also had something going on in my personal life that have brought me down a couple of days after Christmas... and That's also when I basically made a decision of cutting down my usual social events and fully focus on RE for now.

HI Deepack..I just commented on your other post with an example transaction with the same parameters and the lender that funded the transaction.

@Bruce Woodruff: Sounds like a personal problem.

I'm up to 10 doors (including personal residence) and have six more under contract.

My own personal preference right now is to get out of interest rates way by investing in DSTs. 

My main concern would be using HELOC on personal residence to make first real estate investment, not as concerned with the Roth/IRA but still don't want to make a big mistake on the first one. 

We obtained a hard-money loan from Upright to help us fund this deal.
