What is a reasonable way to apply an estimated tax benefit of the interest deduction vs. the tax on increased positive cash flow vs. invested income? 

If you just want to add real estate to your portfolio and the benefits like cash flow, appreciation, and tax benefits, you might be better off investing passively.

@Eryn GarciaPros are that students generally have consistent income from loans, parents, grants.

By increasing the property's value through renovations, you can potentially increase rental income and improve cash flow.Long-Term Rental Demand: Consider markets with strong long-term rental demand, such as college towns, military towns, or areas with growing industries.

However, this can be contrasted to a considerably lower rate in those segments with college degrees and further educational attainment, which is supported by lower median income of $34,748 in 28301 and $54,444 in 28304 compared to $66,778 in 28305 and $61,053 in 28306.

I went through an 'interview process' with my accountant and he had me produce paperwork demonstrating income and expenses for each.

You are going to be very bored when you retire young so start building your REI portfolio so you can travel and visit your properties and continue to build your portfolio and future wealth through passive income.

Prop tax's some of the lowest the country very low insurance stucco houses tile roofs and desert landscaping all lead to ease of maintenance over time compared to FLA which of course has all sorts of weather related issues that is detrimental to houses .. high prop tax and sky high insurance ( certain areas) But its also growing.. so there is that.

This is really an accountant question as to how you can structure to use your RRSP's as an investment with it still being arm's length away so that you do not get taxed on it until it is used for the purchase at the end of the rent to own period.Best Wishes

I’m looking into fix and flip, BRRR and becoming a landlord, passive income.
