Property management can definitely make or break things, so it’s inspiring to see how you’re prioritizing that.Looking forward to learning more from your journey and sharing ideas as we both navigate the real estate world!

Hearing about your experience moving from a 4-plex to an 8-unit property gives me a better idea of what to expect as I grow my portfolio.

There are plenty of websites that can give you a good idea of property values in your area.

I guess the idea is to use the equity from one property to purchase the second property, and so on.

Crazy idea: Actually the easiest way to achieve material participation in some cases?

Thanks to everything I’ve learned from the podcasts, books, and this community, my wife and I currently own:A triplex in MaineA single-family rental in San AntonioA single-family primary residence in Las Cruces, NM, which will become a rental when we move in a few monthsFor context, I'm an active-duty Army officer with about 12 years left until retirement, and my wife works for a university in Boston.

Do you think that’s a good idea?

Fred, something to look out for is if this depreciation clock resets with the new administration in office. 2025 it went to 40% but the benefit would obviously be much higher if it goes back up to 100%.
