Maybe just dump all into 529 and then you won’t have to contribute as much later on. Do the work up front.

More into 529

Yieldstreet is good for alternative investments

Otherwise just VTI yeah

Front load the 529!

Do any of your kids go to private school? (You can use the 529 to pay for up to $10k or so of it.)

If you have a qualifying high deductible health insurance plan, max out an HSA.

So I recently read an article that talks about how Airbnb's are considered to be commerical properties for the sake of depreciation because of the average stay test. If this is the case, shouldn't you be able to gut renovate Airbnb's and put it in the QIP bucket and take bonus as long as you don't make the ADS election?
