Welcome to the community and best of luck on your real estate journey!

Or just hold on tight to my standards even if theres a vacancy? 

The last 2 years I have collected over 80 different bottle and gotten my hands on a good bit of the staples.  

On biggerpockets podcast, they put it a good way...

First, have a conversation with an accounting firm to see if a cost segregation study will be beneficial to you.You don't want to spend money on something where you won't get a benefit from.

Congrats on this. 

I am a new real estate investor who is looking to close on my first deal in the next 2 weeks and I want to be prepared for tax season.

I’m glad you have a good outlook on it.

There may be some equity that I can tap into depending on the DSR however,  I'm looking to see what other funding options are available to cover construction carrying costs that do not require W2?

After that, you might want to look at getting a HELOC on your primary residence you could use for buying and renovating investment properties.
