Do the Schedule E losses knock out Schedule C self employment taxes for the realtor who is a real estate professional?

It makes not sense to prioritize that when I can knock out several 6% or 7% loans every year with a fraction of the balance; also while doing that now also turn the principal payment portion into free cash flow.It's the same advice BP would give someone with lots of credit card debt: you pay off the highest interest rate card first, then 2nd highest etc.

Knock out light turns (paint, locks, lighting, safety items).If MTR: set up durable furniture, blackout curtains, secure storage, and smart locks.6) Simple underwriting checklist (copy this into your notes):Target monthly cash flow ≥ $200–$300/door (after ALL expenses).Break-even occupancy (what % rented covers all bills) ≤ 85% for MTR, ≤ 92% for LTR.Cash-on-Cash ≥ 6–8% (for LTR) or 8–12% (for MTR house-hack) on conservative numbers.If house-hacking, your personal housing cost should drop meaningfully versus renting today.7) Loan strategy (aka “Borrow Better”):If owner-occupying to house-hack: consider low-down Conventional or FHA to keep cash for reserves and light upgrades.If non-owner: compare a standard 30-yr fixed to a DSCR loan (rents qualify the loan).Tight on cash flow?

Although if there were an event on level that is can either (a) take out the entire power grid for any duration (b) knock out the internet for a duration, or (c) fry most servers (ie significant EMP's)......I think were all gonna have way bigger concerns than BTC, like WWIII or thermo-nuclear destruction or the invading N.Koreans or whatever that has made such epic calamity. 

Here’s the way to think about it.Paying the extra $1,100/month guarantees you a 4% “return” (since you’re avoiding paying that interest), plus you’d knock out the loan by maturity without a refi.

Because if the wood isn't completely rotted, this opens the door for a possible re-roof.Also, from my experience in the Midwest area, it really shouldn't take a company more than 3 days to knockout a roof, unless it is gigantic or in need of a total repair.... shingles or metal.Hope this helps.

Document everything with time‑stamped notes and photos, and use a monthly “all‑at‑once” maintenance visit to knock out minor items efficiently.

Nothing.Put it all back together.I was on my way to Home Depot when I thought, did the guy take out the knockout plug so that the dishwasher hose could pump through the garbage disposal?

Show up at DFW meetups, ask “What’s one tech task I can knock out this week?”
