To defer all tax you must purchase in total at least as much as your net sale.

Case Study: A Successful Joint Venture in Real Estate - An investor identifies a distressed property with high potential but lacks the funds to purchase and renovate it. - The investor partners with a private lender who provides the capital.

Hello community,We have purchased a home in Nevada City, California that is currently a cash flowing rental, until it becomes our primary home in 1.5 years when our family relocates to the area.

. $220,000 is definitely a lower purchase price amount and really limits you on what you can buy.

If you're looking at a debt service loan, 15% is the minimum for a purchase but it's much more common (and rates are better) at 20-25%. 

I believe that many will be able to purchase a townhome or condo, but not that dream home close to the city. 

Purchase price: $169,000 Cash invested: $35,000 Looking to put 70K into the separate garage to make a 730Sqft home.

I've got about $525K in equity in the property, but lenders have told me that I cannot get a HELOC to access that equity for additional purchases because the duplex was financed as an investment - they have said TX law dictates that HELOC can only be used on primary residences.

Purchase price: $205,000 Cash invested: $60,000 This was the first property I purchased.

Too many newbies seem to think they can blindly follow "old" advice in today's real estate market and be successful.Many, basically get taken advantage of by those in the industry that have an incentive to keep newbies blind to new realties, just to keep their good times rolling.What many newbies have figured out is that they can't make the numbers work on rental purchases in their states - like California, Arizona, New York, New Jersey, Washington, etc.What they have NOT figured out is that if they go to cheaper markets, they aren't being shown Class A rentals to buy.
