Option C (selling) simplifies finances and provides a large lump sum (~$270K), but triggers significant capital gains taxes, potentially increasing Social Security taxation and Medicare premiums.

Are you looking to invest in real estate to gain passive income or are you wanting to buy a real estate business and be in charge of operations? 

Hi Saju,Well it is an exciting market with lots of future developments happening, all aligned with the popular Dubai 2040 vision.As for how the market is for US investors, there is no local tax on capital gains, or tax on rental income.

I have studied the market there for a bit now and am comfortable with investing with decent Cash Flow and modest property price gains.

You gain experience for the next one.Fear’s just a sign you’re growing.

Primary residence capital gain $250,000 exclusion.  

Simultaneously, if this vacancy is a high percentage of the buildings total SF, I would market the property for sale to an owner-user who may be able to fill the vacancy at preferred rates while gaining investment income off the other tenants.

Lenders also have interest only options that could help with cashflow especially on acquisitions to allow you to get the listing up, and have your listing gain momentum (some listings start off slow while they accrue bookings, reviews, etc.)

This is very valuable information.

I have a full time W2 job that takes up much of my time, so I'm leaning toward Turnkey until I gain some experience.
