I am interested to see how that progresses as Rural parcels offer the most opportunity to take advantage of this legislation.  

I've found that this isn't as big of an advantage as it used to be.

I also now own 4 rental properties and want to make sure I'm taking advantage of all the tax benefits possible, as I've had significant travel and expenses related to improving a fixer-upper. 

Self-directed 401k has several advantages over an IRA (significantly higher contribution limit, checkbook control, ability to take personal loan from your account tax -free, Roth sub-account, cost-efficient and more) but it is not for everyone.

You may be able to take advantage of developer bonuses which would allow you create more units than you think.

Future real estate acquisitions may require additional required reserves funding on previously purchased properties so as to take into account increased PITI payments... thereby minimizing current advantages of lower rates/fees via HELOC funding.4. 

I think I am at a disadvantage because I am a young female and sellers question if I know what I’m talking about...Anywho, I am determined to stay persistent.

It provides a few advantages; higher ARV, higher rents and better quality tenants.  

Advantage is no maintenance since everything is new and your under warranty. 

Although my focus is mainly on multi-family, the numbers penciled out and I wanted to take advantage of the low purchase price and the small cosmetic repairs.
