Hello, I’m Bianca, a single healthcare professional who’s been experiencing an increasing W2 income over the years. As a result, I’m finding myself owing more to Uncle Sam each year. I own two primary residences and started hosting in one of them in June 2026. I want to reduce my tax bill and use that money to grow my real estate portfolio, this would eventually allow me to reduce my hours at my W2 job. This way, I can spend more time with my aging mother, nieces, and nephews.
