I may have to reset my “notifications” on BiggerPockets to make sure l don’t miss relevant discussions.

Big question / difference that I haven't seen resolved and/or don't have an answer to (might not be relevant if you're in the commercial world and/or a cash buyer):The only type of entity that Fannie residential will lend to is a revocable living trust. 

My intention is not to cheat or pull something over, but rather to deduct cost of something intended to increase my knowledge for investing/business purposes which I deem absolutely relevant.

Even on my deals, at a fraction of this price point, every listing appointment I go on there is always discussion about similar deals I've done, discussion of my relevant background, and who I know.

I'll explain.Wondering if anyone has ever created, or seen, a spreadsheet that allows you to input properties as they are acquired; along with all relevant data like contract price, down payment, taxes, anticipated NOI, etc., and summarizes the individual properties into a "totals" table.For example, it's easy for me to know what my net cash flow is and equity in property #1 is any any given time.

I don’t know what state your rental home and your tenant is in but you need to understand all and I mean all the relevant landlord tenant laws in your state.

I'm sure a lot of people assume that folks who have made more money are better suited to give advice.Here's a question that may be particularly relevant now.

Originally posted by @Angela Przulj:AnnaBeing conservative myself, I would pay off my MR (home you live in) and use the equity from investments to purchase more properties.Investment expenses are tax deductible, so make sense to me.Investment expenses, including interest paid on rental property mortgages, are tax deductible, but so are interest payments on a mortgage on your primary residence if you qualify, so taxes are a wash in that regard.BTW, speaking of taxes, please allow me to tax geek out and stray a wee bit off topic for a bit, as I think it may be useful and somewhat relevant to the discussion ... 

But Dorchester is huge, so the specific area will better define what is the right price.Feel free to connect with me - I'm by no means an expert, but am going through all this right now in Southie, so I do have the relevant info.Maybe consider partnering or a rehab project first?

If it was your education that is relevant to your LLC, I would say unequivocally yes (depending on your state), but I don't think writing off family expenses for your business would be wise.
