I went to school in Santa Barbara and moved from just north of San Francisco to live and invest in Reno, NV. 

Looking to find duplex or something along those lines to reside in and then eventually move upward.

This person (not Blake capital) was trying to bully me (wrong move).

The IRS considers a rental property "placed in service" when it is available and ready to rent, not necessarily when the first tenant moves in. 

Covering the mortgage isn’t an issue, but I’m considering factors like: Multi-Family: House hacking would help offset costs right away, but I’d likely need to put money into renovations upfront.Single-Family: Easier move-in with no immediate renovations needed, plus potentially lower tenant turnover once I rent it out For those who have been in a similar situation, what did you choose and why?

@Paul De Luca PITI 11.4k, Gross Income (once I move out) 12.5k 

Hey @Juan Antonio Villagomez, I definitely agree with the general consensus—working with a CPA who has experience in real estate is a smart move since there are nuances that can help maximize tax savings.

Fast forward another 8 weeks and the HVAC dies and the tenant moves out.

Most administration officials rent when they move to DC because they know they may be there for 4-years or a lot less.

I am a resident physician in dermatology, during  medical school I bought a property in Denver with an Interest rate of 2.75% (COVID rates lol) with the goals of renting it out when I moved onto the residency.
