Primary $250,000 per spouse avoidance on capital gain.  

I've been on the western slope for over 30 yrs.I built my primary, its; Slab on grade, stucco, concrete roof, painted with E-84n roof soffits and tailings fire caulk (anti-ember) vulcan fire vents, 4 car wide concrete driveway, extra large house numbers, red 3/4" hoses on reals @every corner, completely denuded of vegetation 100ft.

At this time the primary goal is passive income and then scale within 5 years as I gain more experience and network. 

Etc.My primary partner, Jason, and I were partners for six or seven years.

We'll likely have to look for alternatives to our primary house since we won't be moving much anymore, but I like the idea of small multis and getting a lending who fully understands the VA is certainly good insight.Thanks,Fritz 

If you refi into another FHA loan, you will still have monthly MI.Another point - FHA loans cannot be used for investment properties - they're for primary residences only.

So a loss of about 55k We did a lease to own option so I could immediately take over expenses but keep their primary resident loan and interest rate.We agreed to a deal which would cover all their expenses at closing, their remaining loan balance, and $45,000.

I'm going to exclude my personal residence from this because I don't view this as an investment, I need a place to live.Excluding my primary residence my current breakdown is 47% real estate 53% stocks/cash. 

My husband and I just moved into our new primary residence about 40 min outside Savannah, GA.

Primary home is a little easier but for FHA and other programs it requires 12 months title seasoning.There is something called delayed financing that if you purchase a piece of land and pay for the home "All Cash" without a mortgage you can get up to 80% LTC.
