You get the write off for the repairs and still collect 100% of the rent so there’s no question down the road about gat happened to the missing rent.

I have rental income and have 30 paid off properties..

Usually, lenders don't want to write mortgages that small at all - no matter what your qualifications are. 

I honestly care little about the savings, and more about the AC turning off due to overheating.

Tenant is murdered in rental and police rope it off for 2 months And this doesn’t even include my commercial properties!

Can we use our current investment propeties or purchase another investment property purchase to at least slightly offset the tax hit?  

So, here at the 6 month check in, here are the things I've been doing since January 2024: *Anchored everything to my WHY, including the motivations and long-term strategy *Joined a local REI group hosted by my church*Researched tax lien investing in Harford County, MD and decided to not play in that space this year*Read a few REI books (Rich Dad Poor Dad, One Rental At A Time, Building Wealth One House at a Time, Wealth Without Cash, Building Real Estate Wealth in a Changing Market)*Subscribed to a bunch of good YouTube channels (BP, ORAAT, Ken McElroy, Coach Carson...)

My plan is to move out in two years after I qualify for the possible capital gain tax exclusion so then I can either decide to keep it for 3 additional years (or maybe longer, and forgo the exclusion)and move the home into a LLC.

I think Springfield will grow as Columbus continues to take off.

Hi everyone,I am a small STR investor and in the past few years I have been investing in both stocks and real estatewith COC returns of about 20% for the past 3 years.I am considering diversifying my portfolio with LTR and I know that returns there are going to be a lot smaller.So I was curious to know if there was a rough formula that could include mortgage paydown, tax advantages, and estimated appreciationto be able to compare apples with apples.I am only familiar with Cashflow, CoC, Cap Ex, and IRR.
