Whether you are a veteran looking to buy a home or an investor seeking the right funding for your next deal, I am here so put me to work.  

If you are able to actively use the funds I would say start a real estate marketing company with it. 

I put roughly 20% down on a $200k home, and am curious what steps I could take to possibly turn my original investment into a large portfolio within the next 10 years, when we're currently "low on liquid funds" after finishing up a wedding.... 

We are trying to not use our retirement funds.

If funding is the priority, using a HELOC while keeping the property in your name offers flexibility.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I am thinking about taking out 5 to 10% to fund a down payment on my next live in multifamily house hack.

Intangible assets like goodwill or tangible personal property (e.g., equipment) are excluded from 1031 treatment and are taxed separately—goodwill is typically taxed as a capital gain, while equipment may be subject to depreciation recapture taxed as ordinary income.To minimize taxes on the sale of the business, consider strategies such as Opportunity Zone investments, which defer gains until 2026 if proceeds are reinvested in a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF), or structuring the sale as an installment agreement to spread taxable income over multiple years.

But here are ways to reduce capital gains taxes:Deduct expenses (renovation, selling costs) in 2024 to offset gains.Hold for 1+ year to qualify for lower long-term capital gains tax rates.Invest in a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) to defer taxes.Use tax-loss harvesting to offset gains with investment losses.Pushing 2024 deductions to 2025 won’t help much with 2024 capital gains.

It’s definitely smart to evaluate the tax and cost implications of your funding options.

I personally used business credit cards to BRRRR a deal—no money came out of my pocket.
