I always tell my clients: instead of being frustrated by the rules or certain limitations, you should understand the rules and embrace them for your benefits.

Lower cost of acquisition, still have available cash to pay down student loans and also can benefit from having a tenant in your primary residence (house hacking).

Hello everyone,I am debating purchasing a single-family residence to rent out primarily for the tax deduction benefits. 

We live in a military area and hope to benefit from the high turn-over renters.

@Lucas MilburnIndividuals with self directed Individual Retirenent Funds allows individuals to invest those funds in numerous investments tools with one being real estate.  

The key here is (1) the seller is motivated ( desperate ) enough to give up control of his property to someone who has little if any capital invested, while receiving no money upfront himself and still maintaining liability on his mortgage, and/or (2) the seller is convinced that you will be successful AND that his risk is small AND that he will receive future benefits.

I'm looking for the greatest tax benefit.

But truly self-directed Solo 401k offers really unique benefits/advantages and can be used in conjunction with your other assets to help you build wealth.

So, from what you’ve stated, all investments within an opportunity zone must be made by 2026 to receive the deferral benefit of the original?

Also, when factoring in your long term CAP EX, don't forget to include the offsetting deprecation tax benefit that pays for those future expenses over the long term.
