Or, you could do short term rentals on sites like Airbnb or VRBO.

In short, an allotment that gets subtracted from the paycheck before the service member has access to it.  

In this way if tenants dispute items and it takes awhile for CAM to get sorted out then new owner can pull from seller reserve and then whatever is not used for short fall is then released to seller.Even if expenses are fully paid for by tenants you still want to keep costs as low as possible an still save where you can. 

I have only been doing this for a short period of time and focus mainly on cash flow and serving the working class tenant base, but would love someone to tell me that I am going to regret it in 10 years.  

Hello BP,We are trying to work with Chase Bank on a short sale.

If you have equity use to pay off all credit cards, if no equity short sell and pay off smallest cc balances first and snowball to the nextGet rid of both cars, plenty of cheap beaters or if you need a nicer car for ubet/lyft then downgrade the expensive one, get a focus or civic, roll the 7k into the loan and it should at least cut the payment in halfGet rid of cable and anything that is considered a want. 

Usually the advice on a personal residence is to choose whichver best meets your needs and desires...life is short.

Depending on your investment in the stocks...short term gain vs long term gain your tax rate would be reduced anyway. 

I fully intend to rent out several of the rooms, possibly in a Short Term situation through AirBnB type sites, some rooms to what I hope to be my daughters college friends that have Mom & Dad to foot the bill for them :) Aside from that using a small MultiFamily is a great idea as well as even doing a live in fix and flip, these are all ways to house hack and unless you just can't stomach having "roommates" or living next door to your tenants then I just can't see a downside. 

Therefore, we made a “profit” of $10k and I’m curious how I can avoid paying short term capital gains taxes on this land.
