Just a heads up, we don't post our prices publicly because we raise them frequently given our growth, and don't want potential members to get outdated pricing information. 

My wife and I are hoping to buy another single family home that is bigger sometime in the next year for our new family and potentially rent out our current home to tenants.

None of this is worth an ounce of energy or thought.

Depending on the loan amount for the new property, roughly a little over half of the gain could be deferred through the exchange.Without a 1031, they’ll face taxes on the entire gain, including federal capital gains tax (likely 15% based on their income), California state tax, and depreciation recapture, potentially totaling $130-150K.

The reason for this is the university will likely want to expand & your street could have a high potential of being bought out by the university.

The fear of unknown and the bad potentials, but then sh_t happens and ya remember that we got a choice to lay down and be done in by it or roll-up the sleeves and get to work and be a solution maker. 

Also send me some details on your service offerings, I am potentially looking for a new tax accountant.

$500k would be enough to go out and buy something else leveraged that would potentially get you a better return.

My strategy is to hold it long-term, leveraging the steady rental income while benefiting from potential appreciation.

If the agent is doing the marketing, finding the potential buyers and possibly working with other agents to help you secure a deal then I would still charge 2.5% for my listing services and 2.5% to any buyer's agent.
