We will consider filing for a variance in the future to better protect the asset from zoning concerns. 

How do I look for good one and what are the right questions to ask to avoid and future issues.Thank you,Akshay

If together they generate a loss, you cannot use this loss against your W2 income unless either:a. your wife qualifies for REPS orb. you invest in short-term rentals (STRs) like AirBnBs.Both come with strings attached.Unavailable losses are not wasted, they are kept for future use.

If not and they are either paying from reserves or haven't decided yet, then you should expect the future HOA fees to make those funds up. 

Exploring resources, networking, and expanding my knowledge to create future opportunities. 

I'm seeking guidance on what my next steps should be—whether that's turning it into a long-term rental, exploring house hacking when I return, or using it to build equity for future investments.

It's a glorified storage space for future tenants.

The calculator uses a subject property to calculate current expenses, future cashflow & appreciation, and shows you your projected net worth growth among other metrics to help you decide if househacking is for you.Hope this helps!

I'd like to do something that would give my kids a chance to really thrive in the future.

And at some point in near future — those people will pivot.
