Hello BP Community,I am designing contemporary mountain 2 bedroom / 2 bath cabin in Ohio with a lot of tourists interest year round and four season weather.Here's some amenities that are going to be in the cabin:hot tub on 2nd floor with walk out from each bedroom;wood burning fire place in great room;nice fire pit outside;debating: is putting soaking tub with electric fireplace will be a good investment?

While I’ve considered cash-out refinancing or HELOCs, the high rates make these options less appealing.I’m debating between using cash to acquire more SFRs or diversifying into mixed-use retail properties.

Quote from @Logan Barwick: I Am looking at getting involved in rental properties and debating on which option would be best.

I am debating going to BPCON in Vegas in October.

The newest outdoor is still advertising 1st month free as they haven't filled up, and I spoke with the climate controlled owner/builder yesterday (he's a pretty big REI in the area), and he made it sound like he hadn't leased a single climate controlled unit since they opened a few weeks ago.I recently purchased a 140x45 warehouse with low ceilings and had debated doing self storage, but my market seems very saturated.

Your question has been debated between BP tax experts both privately and publicly, for example here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/819991-expens...And we ended up where we started: no consensus and no clarity.There have also been court decisions that support my interpretation, even though I personally find these court decisions debatable.

Whether it's considered an arm's length transaction is debatable, but it's not illegal.Move forward with the sale and ensure full transparency with all involved parties, including your CPA.

And debating between duplex/triplex/quad vs 5-15 units multi. 

Separately, the benefits and disadvantages of renting to Section 8 is a topic of extended debate on this forum.

Debating closing off my calendar but fear on missing out on bookings while I try to transition to MTR.
