Hi, I need to get a high-level understanding of how investing in RE is going to affect my tax situation. 

I do have a few questions for you regarding your situation.1.

Another had an eviction over ten years ago and as a result now prioritizes rent, and another had an eviction due to a temporary situation and an unreasonable landlord (I know him; he actually gave her a good reference).I have properties in C-/D+ neighborhoods; Policies that allow me to work with tenants when they can't pay all the rent and still limit my losses keep my places full but I would rather wait for someone with a good solid work history and adequate income.

One of the recent bigger pockets podcasts covered this exact situation- it was 275: Early Retirement at age 35 with Bryce Stewart.

My situation is I am able to take a loan out of my government retirement account at a very low interest rate which goes back into my account with no penalty.

You are looking for a situation.

If that's your situation, then tenants having control over their heat is much better than not.

In my situation, I felt really bad for the neighbor - they were doing what's right.

This was a multiple offer situation and there were multiple buyers who were offering in the same ballpark (give or take a thousand dollars).
