This must have been something related to my bank only.

I saw some related to contractors and brokers.

Work on building good relations with FNMA or other entities and you may just end up being 'that guy' that won a contract (and also under bidding the competition) as a result. 

Our combined income exceeds $150,000 but the write offs relating to the real estate expenses for tax purposes go away so buying in our own name does not provide all the advantages I would like it to. 

Will I still be able to deduct travel and related expenses since this is technically a personal investment?

It has been a fulfilling adventure but I can relate with the @Jake Allen Hattock with the time and having a job and young children.

@Oliver Martin  I'd look toward employment related news to assist you with your predictions.  

I've been looking at doing a little more in the stock market (i.e. options, new IPO's, robotics, lithium, Marijuana related investments, etc) as I've done quite well during the past 6 to 7 years.

I know 5-7 years ago the HOA paid to patch the roof because there were some leaks, but I don't know if this is related.

The name may sound familiar, but I don't think I'm any relation to @Brandon Turner other than being a member of the Bigger Pockets family.
