If you’re interested in investing in real estate, you can consider doing so with a Self-Directed IRA to defer taxes on capital gains until you actually withdraw the funds from your IRA.

You payment is $2,600 plus tax and insurance.

Whichever loan that you decide to use, the interest will be tax deductible due to interest tracing rules.

On property number one, I would cash flow $750 a month after mortgage, taxes, and insurance if I also rent out the unit I live in.

It links to our business bank account and our business credit card so come tax time, deductions should be easier.

@Apryl Skahill To get your risk-averse spouse on board with real estate investing, start by educating him with beginner-friendly resources that highlight the long-term stability, cash flow potential, and tax benefits of real estate, such as depreciation deductions and offsetting W-2 income.

I use my license for multiple activities: Of course- comps, when buying and when selling, tax data- to see what I am about to pay when i own the home ( for long term holdings), check the DOM (days on the market) for the subdivision I am either buying on, or when I plan on selling, etc. 

Most of my renters are nurses, engineers, and tax payer funded employees (Government workers). 

Is your DSCR ratio greater than 1-meaning are you cash flowing (according to the lender's criteria of mortgage, property taxes and insurance (and HOA) if applicable).

The patent on the 30 year with taxes and insurance was 3900 or so.
