When you're ready to sell, you should reach out to your accountant to have them run some numbers for you so you know what type of potential tax bill you'll be looking at.

It has helped me be able to see my cash position and be able to see that I am positioned to not only pay the bills but able to pay myself!

@Bill Brandt your townhome/condo rates are far lower than a SF/MF properties. 

If so, I'm pretty sure every county in Illinois has assigned property tax PIN or index numbers to each property.Therefore the agent selling the property should provide you those property ID PIN numbers.If the listing agent will not give you those tax ID numbers, that would be a red flag.With those tax ID numbers, you should be able to get a copy of the actual property tax bills and the breakdown for the assessed value of the property.and google specify $5kHow can Google specify the taxes as 5K?

If we sold it now without it being a 1031, I believe we'd be on the hook for a massive tax bill based on the low cost basis of the properties.

Pay your bills on time.

@Bill BrandtHi Bill, I’m applying a private loan and the appraised ARV is lower than the lender’s expectation, and it caused them to lower the loan amount.

Otherwise, use your big heart, give discounts and when you get hit with a huge bill for a roof, plumbing, or furnace you will find your tenants don't give a crap about you even after you discounted their rent for several years.
