@Jonathan Pavkov I wasn't sure if I would miss the summer window in which most families are looking to move to a new school system. That was the only reason why I considered this timeline. For everyone that has commented thank you! I am going to begin looking at ReFi options. 

@Mak K. It will be 2 years in March 2022. I did notice there are some exemptions due to job loss, job relocation, and a few other ways to not pay capital gains tax on the sale. 

@Sam G. What do you mean? My wife and I will not have lived in our home for 2 years so I thought I can't claim 500K of capital gains tax free? 

Thank you all for your help!!!

@Caleb Brown We are actually looking at moving to Boise. Which is competitive, but not nearly as expensive as Austin. What do I need to do to 1031 my primary residence? 

@Caleb Brown I owe approximately 300K and the value of the home is 850K 

I am looking for advice on what I should do if I want to sell my home if I have not lived in it for 2 years yet. I live in Austin and the housing market is insane and I want to sell my home and move to a more affordable area and enjoy what the money could provide in terms of size in a different state. Should I convert the home into a investment property and 1031 it? 

Hello! I have recently started purchase, flip, and sell Mobile homes in the state of Texas and was inform about needing an REI (A RETAILER, BROKER, AND/OR INSTALLER) in order to sell more then 3 homes.

Has anyone else who lives in Texas and sells home run into a similar issue? 

Thank you! 


 

Hello! My wife and I just began our real estate journey and our hopeful to do this full time. One of the things we constantly discuss is benefits and health insurance. I was curious if you guys have some feedback about where to go to buy benefits/ insurance and how to best navigate that market! 

Thank you!

Hi! I am a newbie to both real estate investing and BiggerPockets, but wanted to create my first post. My wife and I started our real estate adventure with a purchase of a mobile home that we renovated and then used that money to flip into a down payment for a triple plex! One of our streams of income to help pay for our real estate is through website design! If anyone on here wants to connect to talk about social media, website design, or logo designs I would love to connect with you! I live in central Texas so I am also looking to connect with fellow BP members who live near Austin! 

Thank you!
