Feel free to shoot me some specific questions if you want some help.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

The new mortgage on the new $340k duplex home which is an FHA loan is going to be a monthly payment of $2800 and we will refi ASAP (the current rate is 6.7%) when rates go down.We have done some nice improvements on the SFR and will be refinishing the wood floors before a renter moves in (July 1) so feeling like it's a great opportunity for the right long term renter and we plan to screen prospective tenants well.We are taking a $20k HELOC on the SFR for the downpayment and plan to pay that off within 12-18 months.

My niche was looking for areas that were run down but getting ready to gentrify (or so I thought, sometimes it's just a guess or gut feeling :-)Drive around the areas you have selected as possible money-makers and then drive, drive, drive.

Feel free to reach out if you have any more specific questions or if you feel like I can help at all.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I was in the military and bought a house in Fayetteville, NC since I was stationed there-which I now rent out...That was two years ago, and I have not made much movement to further my real estate investing journey, until now!

Feel free to message me as I'm happy to provide more details. 

Literally every week I get multiple inquiries on the size of our pool as the last time they made the mistake of booking a place with a such a small pool. 

Income is $600,000 per year and husband and wife both work full-time non real estate jobs.Is it true that the tax benefits are greater, or realized more quickly, on purchases like furniture or televisions to itemize a rental property, when they are made AFTER the date the property is put in service?
