Realistically they will perform similarly. I would prefer VTI due to a little extra diversification but you are just fine with either. Almost a coin flip

Thanks E1!

Can anyone help me understand the cons/harm in splitting your money and investing equally btw the two? It may not make much sense since there's duplication but whats the harm?

I have a similar situation. I used by buy VOO and then started liking VTI a bit more owing to better tracking of overall market. It matters in certain years and doesn't in most. Like last year, VOO had a better run but it does vary between the two and doesn't matter in the long run.

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?
