It needs to be higher then the US treasury for it to make sense. you would be surprised how few people, particularly brokers, can comprehend that  Current US Treasury is at 5.085%.... does that sound right?

This is Lynn, I am referring to Janet Behm, who is a Certified Tax Coach and licensed by the US Treasury Dept. as an Enrolled Agent.She knows tax strategies for real estate that most tax preparers have never heard of.This is the classic: "You don't know, what you don't know."

Thank you.The report goes to FinCEN, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, that is a division of the Department of the Treasury, separate and apart from the IRS.

Personally if I had 1 million just laying around Id probably put some of it into real estate, pay down some existing debts, some of it in treasury bills, and some of it in an index fund. 

Does owning a land and then paying mortgage and taxes be considered as passive loss which I can offset agains gains from US treasury Bills

I could put my money into treasury bills (which are about as risk-free as an investor can do) and get around 5% for year (and completely passive).

But if you rent any property, including part of your home, for more than 14 days, then you have to report that income on your taxes.However, based on what you said, you won't meet the IRS requirements (Treasury Regulations section 1.280A) to be considered a short-term rental (STR) when you file your taxes. 

for Zero Risk to capital, move cash to your brokerage and buy USFR, paying 5.4%, must pay federal tax but no state taxes, it holds short term US treasury floating rate notes, no FDIC needed as FED can print more money to pay you offfor Mild Risk to capital, buy BKN, BlackRock municipal bond fund with 20% leverage, pays 5.5% tax free, and if 10 year bond yield falls 2% over next year, likely with rate cuts coming, then this will appreciate by about 15%for Mild to Moderate Risk to capital, buy EDV, Vanguard 30year zero coupon US treasuries, pays about 4%, taxable and if 30year bond yield falls 2% over next year, likely with rate cuts coming, then this will appreciate by about 60%Don't put into stocks if you need the cash in <3 to 5 years due to stock volatility
