I purchased property #1 in May of 2020. 

Ann and now I'm thinking of purchasing a rental. 

If you haven't yet, purchased the primary residence, I highly recommend going with the house hack route. 

Purchase price: $185,000 Cash invested: $40,000 This one was an accident.

I’m purchasing the home through an estate via the sister of my neighbor, her and I are in contact and she is considered a friend.

Hi everyone, I'm planning to move to Cleveland,Ohio and had recently purchased a property.

Hey Mariya, yes, I just helped a bay area investor purchase a property that they'll be turning into an STR in West Sac.

Purchase price: $485,000 Cash invested: $10,000 High Visibility Corner Retail Location. 3800 sq ft, 2 story building.Potential NOI valuation (after repairs, finishing) = $1.4MDue Diligence happening now, seeking Qualified Cash Buyer

However, it would clear all my debt and possibly allow me to purchase another rental property to add to the portfolio. 

I would purchase any and all investments inside that trust along with a form of Whole Life or IUL policy to be able to use the tax code of 7702 to create a tax free income and ability to leverage my real estate assets.The BDIT effectively freezes your estate, but gives you the access to funds.Good strategy for any asset that looks to eclipse the estate tax level.
