Personally, I'd cash-out refinance into a 30 or 15 year loan.

Personally I prefer homes around that median price because that's where the most demand will be not only for owner occupants but renters as well.

For me personally, our STR and our little inn provide more than half my family's income so I feel I have a fiduciary duty to my wife and kids to maximize that.

You will never pay more tax in recapture than what you originally deferred, assuming your personal tax rate stays the same.

@Mario Morales - Personally, I would do some research in your target market and search (even it on zillow) for 2-4 family properties and see what agent(s) seem to transact the most in that space.

Attend in person networking events in your area (there are many in and around Vancouver). 

I have found that going that extra mile, like the couch covers etc and making sure the person with the disability has the easiest time visiting our place.As someone with a disability (I have a degenerative neurological disorder) and use a cane, I like to make sure folks with similar issues have a good time.

Personally I’ve got the majority of my assets in real estate.
