The price tag on the houses is nothing, but I'm curious what sort of all in costs this sort of property would incur.

Over the years, I’ve noticed something interesting working with investors:The biggest tax mistakes usually don’t come from shady strategies or bad CPAs…They come from poor recordkeeping and timing.Here’s what I mean A lot of investors don’t track which expenses are repairs (deduct now) and which are improvements (depreciate later).They toss all the receipts into a box or an app and hope it sorts itself out in March.Then when tax season hits, they realize half of those costs could’ve been handled differently — maybe deducted sooner or even structured better if they’d planned a few months ahead.The IRS doesn’t just care what you spent… it cares how you report it.
