Veteran Investment: the VA Investment Flywheel
Offset Mission: the housing-cost offset idea
Understand the concept without projecting a number.
6 minute read
The concept (Vanguard practice)
- Rent from another unit, or later rental of a home you move out of, may offset some housing costs. It may also fall short, arrive late or stop.
- National curriculum does not project rent, cash flow, cap rates or returns. Those depend on the property, the local market and your costs.
Who owns each question
- Local rent evidence: local market sources and a property manager.
- Whether any income can count for qualifying: your lender.
- How rental income is taxed: a tax professional.
