I have a considerable gain from my CA flip, if it sells/ My choices are 1) Just pay the cap gains tax and get to freely do what I want with the liquid funds. 2) 1031 Out of state and file the FTB 3840 forever.I'm just getting started and made sacrifices to get this deal going.

She's an agent that works in that area and does a ton of work with out-of-state investors.I think NW Indiana is a great bet, it provides solid cash flow and continues to have Chicagoans flood that way to avoid taxes.

Branson MO is a very popular choice for both LTR and STR market with lower median price points and consistently draws over 9 million visitors.

While the interest rate might be higher, you eliminate the risk of needing to refinance or sell later, making it a safer option if your goal is to hold the property long-term without any financial uncertainty.If maximizing cash flow now is a priority and you're comfortable managing the future refinancing risk, owner financing with a balloon could be the better choice.

Obeying rules because you think you should is not the same as making moral choices.

And yet I would bet that any property that's not brand new or fairly new, will have some items that could fall into this category.

Your choice is start and just do it, or, bank another regret for later......
