I've read/skimmed through dozens of airbnb threads but there are just SOOO many on this site covering a wealth of topics it's hard to find all the advice I am seeking. 1) For those of you living in a property that you also rent out (either renting out extra rooms or renting out while you are temporarily away) do you attempt to deduct your utilities?

The house was sitting since June with no activity and they dropped it $20k and I offered $7,000 off he new price.

I am seeking refinance on one property from GF and also separately gap funding for another property to be rehabbed. 

She would be a great contact and she is active on BP as well :) 

Call and speak to the most active local commercial real estate brokers in your desired market.

You can not actively do 'fix up' work inside of the accounts (IF that is what a person wants to do)You want CURRENT income instead of waiting until retirement years.With all that said, I do hold quite a bit inside of retirement accounts (as do my partners).

I'm an investor seeking to scale a portfolio in this market over the next 2-3 years.

I ended up seeking out below market rent (plenty in east bay) and that freed up my down payment money to invest OOS.If we subscribe to the belief that what happens in SF trickles out the rest of the bay (at varying degrees) then it looks like there might be a peak for rents (which again depending on area might be at or near). 

@Dylan TranIt appears that the LLC has 3 members and it made a total of $30,000 profit in 2017.It also appears that the activity of the partnership is flipping homes.If this is the case - the partnership will file a partnership return and provide each member with a K-1 listing out $10,000 of ordinary income that is subject to self-employment tax.

I’m looking to become more active in REI and utilize the equity I’ve built out in my property.
