This allows investors to maximize their returns without having to directly face the more restrictive regulations.What do you think about this alternative? 

This would allow them to fully defer their taxes if that was their goal.

@Kyle Carter, The strategy you're looking at would be what is called a "consolidation exchange". followed by a conversion to your primary residence. 

It normally doesn't cost you any money to open and to be able to access that large amount of equity to buy or stabalize your current portfolio allows you so much more opportunity costs.For instance, I took a $200K LOC out on my primary residence when I first started in real estate.

I see other people have their primary residence as an LLC however. 

I looked into this at more than one occasion, because Milwaukee has such an old housing stock, everything is 60-120 years old.Most of the new apartments we see are 4 and 5 star developments with very high rents, this allows to offset the high cost of construction a little better.

🎉 As we kick off 2025, I want to encourage all my fellow Americans stationed in Germany—or preparing to move here—to start thinking differently about your housing allowance.Did you know that your housing allowance could be more than just a rent payment?
