I also read often that it is heavily advised to take advantage of the section 179 deduction.So - I am trying to crunch the numbers for a potential vehicle purchase for my business and am weighing it against lost profit.

If I decide to go ahead with "rent to own", then I have your contact.

The other unit is rented and I have two more new tenants that will be moving in this month to the other two units.My question is should I go ahead and have it removed?

Feel free to post here, or just go ahead and send me a colleague request and we can talk there :-)Best,Arya

If you're planning on holding onto this forever then it may make sense to go ahead and invest more than $15,000 into it because your returns are going to increase exponentially over time.  

Give me a heads up man and we could meet up or chat and bounce ideas around for future acquisitions.Erik

@Mark Weinstock browsed is cheaper for sure but just like anywhere you have to look at the area. just to give you guys a heads up. i found a realtor that was my coworker. i can trust her and i feel pretty good that she won't commission hunt on me. by pure luck her brother 20 years ago bought 2 SF and 2 quadplex and he retired a while back just living off the rent. he has been buying and selling other homes for flips. he has decades of experience. hoping he will throw some knowledge my way. there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

But, let's not get ahead of ourselves: You say that "earlier this year" you purchased a duplex as your primary residence.

If you have a HSA plan you can contribute before tax money and have the HSA money invested in different tax vehicles.

Any work you can do ahead of time is good.
