Not in your tax bracket.
Along with the 24k in the 40k plan, 6.5k in the wife's IRA. I too, have pined after rental property, but if you're in it to make money / cash flow you better have a ton of free time.

Wasn't thinking a tax advantage to income, but there's rental depreciation and expenses. (http://www.investopedia.com/articles...tion-works.asp )
The expenses also may be an advantage if you buy something like an appliance "for the rental" (for accounting purposes) and it magically appears in your primary residence as your new washer/dryer/frig.
Depends on how aggressive you want to get and how tight you are with your accountant. If you're very law and order, then this aspect may not work for you. My accountant explained to me that "many people he knows" use that method and it's not a problem.
Time-wise, the LT rental would be better than the VRBO/AirBnB concept. My neighbor has been renting/depreciating his condo for years and nets a few hundred a month. Spends very little time dealing with it.
Buon Natale, Benny!
può il nuovo anno essere riempito di gioia e molte pastiglie dei freni!
so your kinda like iceman only poorer without a mountain condo, beach house and a hot old lady 2 awesome kids 5 dogs and numerous friends and it took most of your life to gits there?
Not looking to blow money. I just figured people would say shit like records, ancient coins, rare samurai swords, leather bound books, wood working tools, guns, etc. The financial stuff works, too.
Honest to god, if you want to make money with other people's junk, hang out at garage and yard and estate sales, and hope for a jackpot. You know, like Antiques Roadshow. Seriously.
OT - seriously, what skis would be worth anything?
I'd like to have rental property, but the problem (for me anyhow) is that if its not your full time home, mortgage companies want 30% down, which is prohibitive.
I have money "invested" in firearms and rare American coins. Neither thing is going to appreciate that much, but not going to lose value either. And I like holding in my hand something like, my 1795 liberty cap large cent - estimated about 100 in existence, just a cool and rare piece of history - or my Kimber Ultra CDP .45 - which is a beautiful handgun. Investing, or just hobbies? Not really sure, but I tell my wife they are all investments :)
^^^solid advice. before you know it you'll turn invisible. Chase tail now. That's an "investment" in memories you'll cherish forever.Quote:
