It's tough to lose because you're saving money on rent, building equity, getting tax benefits along the way, and becoming a more skilled landlord assuming the property is purchased correctly.

I just missed the capital gains benefits (2/5 years).

It’s not a buyers agents responsibility to explain the contract to you when you are unrepresented as a seller.Every client I represent has the benefit of free legal advice from my risk management service provider.

Also, the main benefit of this strategy is you are using as little down as possible 3.5 or 5% down payment, because if you have to pay 20% or more, it is the same as buying with an investment loan with higher rates. 

In retrospect I've always ended up benefiting by having less invested in a property...but that comes at the higher rate generally.

Unit mix should be market driven and keep in mind there may be benefits to having a % of the building affordable and accessible. 

If so, How does buyers benefit from this transaction?

Any tax benefit to this??? 

These lumber producing companies were trying to ramp production up while creating a safe work place because of COVID-19 and for some employees it made sense to stay at home because of safety reasons and/or unemployment benefits. 

What are the differences if any to Airbnb Write offs and tax benefits compared to traditional rental or small multifamily rental properties?
