I haven’t used the newer platforms yet on my deals, but the speed and transparency you mentioned definitely sound like real advantages — especially with how tight timelines can get here.I’m curious to see how these tools handle more complex assets, since that’s usually where traditional appraisers shine. 

With self directing somebody can make a traditional contribution (get the tax deduction), invest in a non-public asset like a private loan or real estate syndication, then convert the asset from traditional to Roth with a discounted valuation.

Non-traditional lenders usually move faster than banks, though timelines vary.

Traditional 3–5 gallon tank heaters are simple and cheap, but they keep water hot constantly, which wastes energy if usage is infrequent.

I currently have 3 properties: 1 primary, 1 short term rental, and 1 long term.

Could we move into that home, convert to primary home and sell it a few years later to benefit from the primary home allowance?

Hi folks,Anyone has prior experience or feedback for RLI Insurance for a personal umbrella insurance on my primary residence?

Investment rates are lower than primary rates in a many cases!  

I have a few different paths I am considering going down, some of which are the traditional paths that are discussed on this forum at length.One topic I am interested in some general feedback, which is of particular interest to me, is the idea of adding a third unit to a multi-family home.

Meaning, you can buy another primary home without the other home holding you up.
