I’m an SC but have no MBA. At this point (29, married and expecting kids, have a house) is it worth it for me to pursue an MBA? I have a lot of family responsibility coming up so not sure if I can afford losing income for 2yrs and take on 100k+ in debt. Am I thinking too short sighted? Will having an MBA have a dramatic impact on my career here at Deloitte? Figuring this out is my New Years resolution next year.

The idea is that you have two people. A w-2 earner and a second who is a real estate professional who can allow the losses from accelerated depreciation to offset the w-2 income.

This. Pure nirvana.
I’m now also opening a business with an operating co and a big property asset. Spouse (realtor) is half owner. I haven’t explored how this piece will work yet.

Property taxes, depreciation, mortgage interest, and any expenses associated with managing the rental are all deductible against the rental income. It isn’t uncommon to completely erase any rental income on paper via these allowed deductions.
It’s also a reason why leveraging rental properties makes sense.
Don’t forget, depreciation comes back as income when you go to sell!

I have rental income but I pay taxes. Yes a lot of things can be deducted but it generates quite a bit of revenue so I still have taxes to pay.
