Let me know if you would like me to send their info your way

So many new clients come to me having worked with other CPAs or tax accountants that missed out on thousands of savings simply because their former accountant was unaware of real estate strategies. 

Living in the property during the renovation not only saves me on living expenses but also allows me to intimately understand its potential.

However you do it, the goal is to offset your mortgage as much as possible while you live there, you bank that savings for the next purchase and repeat every year or two.

Nice job saving!

My property is in LA too, but saved some money for backup in case something major goes wrong. 

I'll have to wait till Monday. personally I'd like to just sell and be done, I just can't find any info of whether or not it's legal.

Don’t have another down payment saved at the moment but have some company stocks that will vest over the next few years that could amount to another down payment.

@Andrew Postell thanks for the info, I've seen other posts here from South Africans and thought I'd give it a shot.
