@Miguel Del Real if you are just starting out, and maybe you’ve never bought your own personal resident, it is risky to not have somebody in your corner.

Personally, I think it’s important to continue to stay creative and generate new ideas on all facets of the business as legal restrictions continue to present themselves.Have a good one!

I would personally screen my MTR tenants and have them sign a lease.

Thanks Linda Weygant have you personally done a cost seg on an SFR/STR before?

The cash came from my own personal savings and my father who invested in this deal with me.

Furnishings, such as the $35,000 you spent on furnishings, would generally be considered personal property rather than real property and would not be included in the cost of the property.In a cost segregation study, the goal is to identify and classify the various components of a property as either real property (land and buildings) or personal property (furnishings, equipment, etc.).

The best deals, with real analysis, is done in person, or with a partner in the trenches.

Determining whether the venture falls under a service or rental business hinges on the provision of substantial services; for instance, if a bed and breakfast service is offered, it must be reported on Schedule C, triggering a 15.3% self-employment tax.Moreover, personal use plays a crucial role in the classification of the property.

I know a few of mine are Family, Health, and personal growth, but I am curious as to what others are thinking.

Whether it's about real estate investing, personal finance, or any other topic, I want to empower others with the tools they need to succeed without expecting anything in return.However, not everyone shares this philosophy.
