You get all the benefits of owning real estate (cash flow, appreciation, tax benefits) with none of the headaches of buying, renovating, or managing properties.

I am selling my current business and will have about 300k that I would like to avoid paying taxes as much as possible on, so I am looking for something to invest in.  

., tax implications, insurance, etc.)? 

Does anyone know the rules or limitations concerning keeping your homestead exemption and the rules about your taxes when you have declared it as a rental property?

or maybe take advantage of any tax related benefits.I would be happy to give you an opinion of value and even market it to my investor clients to gauge interest.

What I mean by this is considering how much your down payment returns to your net worth (appreciation, loan paydown, tax benefits, AND rent avoidance).

However, it is important to consult with a legal professional or tax advisor to ensure that this arrangement is feasible and complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

I also did get a separate credit card to use just for house expenses.This makes it a whole lot easier, especially if you misplace a receipt when doing taxes.

@Ran Fridman the main issue most owners run into early on is that whatever tool they are using for accounting isn't robust enough for tax time.

@Cody Key I got this email soliciting my business offering 100% financing and 100% rehab which seemed way too good to be true, he also asked for finding fee upfront prior to approval and asked for a utility bill along with the very generic loan app.
