Depending on your income You get to take depreciation off your regular income (usually up to $25k) of 3.6% per year of the building’s value.Many of your everyday expense can be deducted from your income as business expenses.

We have a pretty significant portfolio and are building more this year. 

I've recently taken on a project to build three SFRs on adjacent tracts of land.

My question is, can I use one of the separate parcels as collateral for a construction loan to build a multifamily on it (of course adhering to zoning regulations)?

Definitely a smart idea to do a few fix and flips to build your cash up first!

Save the cashflow - and everything else you can - to build a pile of cash for another investment.

Land is $1m, build is $1.5m and sales value is $3.5m.

Note: I left my corporate job over a year ago and building a startup (beyond real estate) so I believe this limits my options re mortgages, yes?  

I've shifted my focus from textbooks to spending quality time with my dad, who hasn't been feeling well lately, and I'm aiming to build up some savings through investments.Now, I don't have a car, but I have a friend who works nights and has kindly offered to give me rides anywhere between 3am and 4pm.
