Need advice:

If starting a real estate holding corporation, can the company write off as an expense purchases to fix a property that it plans on buying?

Seems like an intuitive "no" to me, but wondering if anyone knows how it could be done. Thank you in advance.

$530k HHI, $250k cash on hand, $1.2M investments/retirement. Plan to buy $800-900k house as our first home, but thinking of the best approach given rates today. My thinking is that we (i) put $200k+ down and get a 5/1 ARM. (ii) put everything we save moving forward toward paying down the principal (after maximizing retirement accounts). Should be able to do $100k per year. (iii) If rates go down below 4.5ish % for 15 year fixed, refinance and stop aggressive payment. Thoughts on this approach?

4. Inside opportunities if you're the creamy layer
5. PF amount in offer letter is the total deduction and not just company's contri
