Quote from @Michael K Gallagher: @Rob Bergeron thanks for the reminder, it certainly feels like things are getting energized in the last 2-3 weeks. 

I have several pieces of furniture leftover from mom and dad (grandfather clock, solid maple table, display hutch, etc). 

These small deductions stack up.Retirement Contributions: A Solo 401(k) or SEP IRA can significantly reduce your taxable income while building long-term wealth.I also agree with Brian about getting a cost segregation estimate if you’re holding any rentals, it can unlock a lot of front-loaded depreciation.And something to consider the for future (I think I saw others mention this too): If you want to offset income even more, consider adding a short-term rental to your mix.

It grabs many relevant comps quickly in the neighborhood you are searching in and displays them. 

Investing in real estate through a self-directed IRA, a Solo 401(k) like Aaron mentioned, or even certain life insurance policies can be a smart way to grow your money while keeping taxes low.
