Au Contraire, I am trying to tell you that you can do this without paying ANYONE, me included.All the posts I have been making over the years have not changed voice or strategy.

Other beneficial tax strategies would be a cost segregation study and bonus depreciation which would allow you to accelerate your depreciation and not have it set at 27.5 years. 

If you think about it the tenant is the real cash flowing asset. this has been the West coast strategy for decades and it works.. 

I'm using the "second home" strategy, My lender approved, but... they want me to stick to 14-day rule of personal use. 

Deciding what strategy to go with for your first investment can feel like a lot to handle.

@Todd Hoteswelcome.start with a house hack.there is no better beginning strategy.

I could not imagine doing this for 40 seperate units.It seems this would be a bookkeeping nightmare for me.Is anyone using this type of asset protection strategy for 5+ properties?

I will take a look at the areas you suggested if I decided to go forward with this strategy.  

I had access to $280k through my HELOC ($130k), savings ($50k), 401k loan ($50k), and a personal loan ($50k).I didn't use the BRRRR method as much as I did work to find off-market deals, buy them cash for under market value, then refinance when I could.I still use this strategy and help other investors do the same since I have a super strong off-market deal flow and can't actually buy them all myself!

Happy to connect and talk strategy a bit with you.
