And another, in some states now, you have to disclose, in writing to the seller, that you are not the end buyer or be fined with a hefty fine.These may get glossed over by the "community" but they are starting to be cracked down on in a bunch of states.

When you sell that same house, you probably want to have the buyer get a new loan.

But no more than 1 purchase a year, so it could be a SFH I buy to do STR or Student Housing or a multi-family in a cheaper market.

You have a very short window to build trust and show your credibility to a seller, the handwritten letters do neither of those things.

You can work with an accountant to work backwards and he can guide you of how much of a house you need to buy to get your income to the lower tax bracket / 12% / 10% / 0% bracket.

I am also adding another bath in another portion of my house and expanding the bedrooms.
