:(1) Purchase of this house for $100K(2) Another $50K remodeling costs(3) If I do not need to report either [1] or [2], how and when do I increase the cost basis of my house in order to reduce my tax burden when I sell it (say for $500K)?

Looking for a adequate source of income that will allow me to earn and learn more about the inner workings of real estate investing.

And no loans so you could easily get 4 more loans. my not be the most efficent but it would reduce risk and make getting loans eisier.

Many big universities now have grant programs where, if you're not earning, you're not paying. 

If I do this in my first year of retirement with no earned income what is the long term capital gains rate I will have to pay.? 

I have been buying and holding a couple cash cow duplexes for 5 years.Duplex #1 Purchase price 26k rent = $1,100Duplex #2 Purchase price 19k rent = $1,050These were my first 2 investments and they have allowed me to do fix and flips which I find I earn much more at a quicker pace.Michael

Yet I don't really care about making interest on my profits or cash-flow and noticed based on research, that a lot of credit unions are acting like banks by giving out loans (other peoples hard earned money).

Looking for a adequate source of income that will allow me to earn and learn more about the inner workings of realestate investing.

If you have say $1m+ that you want to keep out there earning a return, investing in $5k-$10k chunks would be looking at way too many deals for me.
