Yeah I can see using the welcome aboard forums to pump up your comment numbers to make it look like they've been around a while before trying to sneak a pitch for some scam guru trash  I think warm welcomes are nice, but the carry more weight from people who have been around.

Your old carpet did not become more valuable over the seven years you owned the property, even if you are selling for a gain.

If you live in the property for at least two years, you can sell it without paying ANY capital gains tax (unlike traditional flipping).We've done this a few times, but almost every time, we end up keeping the home as a rental.

However, these losses aren’t lost; they are carried forward to offset future rental income or gain upon sale of the property.3.

Fortunately, you will be able to to a 1033 exchange into new property and avoid any tax on the gain. 

Having someone who has owned and operated a similar asset is worth its weight in gold. 

You will definitely learn a lot here - reading books and listening to podcasts, attending local meetups and conferences are all great ways to learn, gain advice, share thoughts and network!

Does the person have something to gain from their answer?

I think I’m more focused on long term gain, some short term cash flow is nice but I’m not planning to try and live on it or anything.

Hopefully, you have been able to gain more advice since then.
