If you’re confident your investments will generate enough losses to offset most or all of your W-2 income for the year, in theory you could reduce withholding significantly.Just keep in mind that the losses only exist once the properties are purchased and placed in service, so timing and detailed documentation are key.

I was thinking of using some or all of that towards the down payment. 

Curious on others experiences, I come across a lot of buildings that seem to be mostly or all 1BD units and wondering if they are harder to sell because they are smaller units and that is reason they are listed longer.

@Alecia Loveless I made 500 seller financing offers to listing agents and not one of them presented it to their seller.However, 30% of sellers are willing to finance some or all of their equity.If you want seller financing there's only one thing you need to do: Talk to the seller yourself.I don't make seller financed offers to sellers.

The “duplex-like” property can work too if your numbers are accurate and the main portion covers most or all of the mortgage.

No, MTR guests don't need or expect Le Creuset or All-Clad luxury pots and pans ...... but that shouldn't give hosts license to raid thrift stores to stock their kitchens, either!

I’ve been a long-term investor in DFW for about four years, but this will be my first value-add / non–move-in-ready property.My goal for this project is to either flip and immediately sell or BRRRR, ideally pulling most (or all) of my cash back out while still breaking even on monthly cash flow.

If you have tax profits and you are a real estate professional the S Corp will allow you to avoid some or all of the 15+% self employment tax.

That lets you cover most (or all) of your mortgage and learn how to manage a property hands-on.

The reward is you can pull most or all your money out here and continue to buy and build up equity in all angles + potientally cash flowing.
