In the process of selling our house. Agent suggested offering a seller credit to structure as a 2-1 buy downs vs. lowering the sales price by that amount. Logically, it makes sense as we can compete with some of the builder incentives offered in our market. Financially, we’re ok if we take this direction. Anyone have experience with offering seller credits? Want to gauge what else to consider. Not in a rush to sell but highly motivated to close on new build primary before price goes up further

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio. Most of the projects I've taken on, I've done so as a way to support others without taking much credit for it. Now, a better opportunity came along and I don't have anything to show for my talent as a designer. ALWAYS take credit for what you do, even if it's not your project to begin with.

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use. We currently have a primary residence with a mortgage balance of ~640K, so my understanding is I could only deduct the mortgage interest on 110K of the second mortgage to stay under the 750K cap. If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?
