have been reading this form for a little while. I came over from ERE. I don't understand everything that is talked about on this forum but I keep reading to learn more.
Here is my question. We have put in an offer on a short sale house. My daughter will be renting from us so we can take advantage of the tax exemptions for rental property. We will not be making any profit off of it.
We have the $40,000 to pay cash for it. Or should we finance it (closing cost maybe quite a bit) or possible do an equity line on it after buying it? Can you deduct HELOC on your taxes also?
Eventually we will sell her the house but I want to take advantage of any exemptions that we can since we are not making money on this. Just trying to help my daughter out.
Thanks
