I began investing as a remote investor on the west coast and have since relocated to Indy to focus on building our portfolio and helping other investors so feel free to reach out if you'd like more info!

Some states don't allow that I believe.Other countries....for the most part I think it is a free for all. 

You are on your way to becoming financial free in the coming years.

You can take the capital gains (I assume that the ~$250k) tax free due to the sec121 exclusion if it was your primary 2 out of the past 5 years.Since you are concerned with rising cost and limited increased rent, sound reasonable to sell. 

For anyone reading this in a year or two, feel free to tag me and ask if the multiple accounts worked out or not.

There's a lot to cover with your questions so feel free to reach out, plus we offer complementary STR analysis. 

@Cheryl BologneseFeel free to jump back in and take this thread back if there's more to your question that hasn't been answered.

Feel free to inquire about their staff qualifications if it's a larger organization.2.
