I am still learning but a lot require you to live in them or you may be limited to how many of those loans you can use.

Some people are stuck in their own routines and limitation and are unwilling to take on a new decision or responsibility. 

A property that is not making cash flow is wasting the depreciation benefit because of it's limitations. 

One clarification...in the City of SD your attached ADU is no longer limited to 50% of the main unit.

I occasionally would get extremely motivated about investing in real estate, but would often be shot down by others or my own limiting thoughts.

What limitations are there for encumbering a property that has high equity, prior to a sale, in order to lower the tax basis as much as possible?

@Rohit SharmaWhen I got my loan a few months ago I had a restriction that limited me to leasing the property for more than 30 days to a renter.  

@Anthony Thompson We are looking to rent out by the room for college rentals (we are down the road from Roger Williams), and Bristol actually doesn't have any limitations on renting by the room, so technically it will all be one unit with two kitchens and two bathrooms.

It is typically not legal for someone to let a house go for unpaid taxes and then buy it back to wipe out a mortgage etc.You need to talk to an attorney you have limited time to get this reversed.

I'm not a fan of cameras unless they are limited to common areas, fully disclosed to all renters, and always maintained to ensure function.
