@Arshiya Taami- thanks ...definitely get  fully pre approved for a  hypotehtical purchase price/ loan amount - this process is free  and  easy  and  it will allow you to  become educated and organized . 

The first tax benefit of real estate is that the cash-flow and appreciation grow tax free(in general).Cash flow will likely be offset by depreciation and appreciation is not taxed.If you are making 8% on real estate(combined cash flow and appreciation), you money will double  in 9 years.If you make 12% on real estate, your money will double in 6 years.There are other strategies in real estate(time involved in real estate) where you can create 'paper-losses' to decrease your W-2 wages, interest, dividends.I normally don't like this route too much as I think people can focus their time and attention more on other tasks that can generate a higher hourly return.Best of luck.

Feel free to connect. 

they will get the first $500K of profit tax free.

IF (big IF) your not in love with your current house you could sell it, taking equity gain tax free (if 2+ years living there already) and then use that money to house hack a bigger or multi property.
