This produced a lovely couple who planned to move out-of-state in 6 months.

The key lesson: even moderate rehabs demand attention to detail and flexibility, but with the right support and planning, they can produce rewarding outcomes.

Income producing? 

If you itemize, a portion of your giving up to 0.5% of AGI will no longer produce any tax benefit; and for high earners the benefit per dollar donated is slightly reduced.

When someone brings capital to the table, especially a business owner like your uncle the conversation has to start with expectations, not the property.Section 8 single-family homes will produce reliable cash flow, but you’re right: splitting $500/month isn’t usually enough to get a capital partner excited, especially when there are management responsibilities and long-term maintenance to consider.

That needs to be part of the math, not an afterthought.Fully paid-off houses produce cash, but the return on equity is much lower.It’s nice to be debt-free, but sometimes the equity can work harder elsewhere.

Core producer inflation barely moved.Bottom line for agents: This is the report that feeds into PCE (the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge).

But none of that pays the mortgage.If you want predictable cash flow, you underwrite deals based only on what the property can realistically produce the day you buy it.

Speaking from my experience as a real estate professional, real estate investor, and mortgage broker, a setup like this can produce a significant tax advantage when you combine STR material participation with a cost segregation study and 100% bonus depreciation.
