Hey Raja,Assuming your property is in Portland the tenants would be eligible to receive Mandatory Rental Relocation Assistance (https://www.portland.gov/phb/rental-services/renter-relocati...) if 1) you choose to not extend their lease, or 2) you decide to sell the property and have an accepted offer for purchase.

Quote from @Michael Plaks: Your math is off, it's much more complicated then that, but the idea described can basically accomplish what you want.Here's how I came up with it:*Assumed sale happens in 2027*Assume 2018 tax changes are NOT extended*Adjust all brackets from 2017 to 2027 using IRS inflation from 2017-2024 and 2% thereafterNumbers are a little different as I posted some rough calculations.  

If you are living in the home, you can do then renos over time.I would want to keep it for as long as possible, but if the property is causing us to extend ourselves, at least five years before selling. 

However, the neighboring building is about 20 feet longer than my building so there are about 20 feet where the building next door extends past my building.The building next to me is a vacant, bank-owned property that the DOB has declared an unsafe building due to a roof collapse in the back.

Does anyone know with the recent Tax Cuts and Jobs act for 2024 if bonus depreciation of 100% has been extended to 2026 for short term rentals? 

If the tax sale is void (such as taxapayer died before the auction and wrong name called off at auction) then investor gets paid only taxes and nothing else, not even interest.Alabama has extended redemption rights that result in all properties purchased from the state, even if you get a tax deed, being subject to an additional 3 years of redemption rights.  

Building: 3 flat with an enclosed Chicago porch where the flat (sloped) roof extends over it.

I believe it will barely break even and in addition to that, I wouldn't be able to afford an extended vacancy period either as that will require more reserves than I have currently available.

I live in Orange County, CA but I have extended family there and like the opportunities that exist in that area.

Looking to see if this might cashflow, or any wisdom from someone who may know the area to see if holding for an extended period of time (10 years) would be a good investment.
