I have a possible seller financing opportunity, where I would be the buyer. 

@Chloe SalcedoStarting your real estate journey at 23 is an incredible opportunity to build a strong foundation for your future.

This platform offers excellent networking opportunities.

There are accountants who say that applies to the opportunity to discount sale and/or basis shift to further lower the tax bill.  

We only do this when we see opportunity, not when the property is already maxed out.

Some will increase to market rates at every opportunity without being concerned about turnover.

Take a good look at potential purchase opportunities and run the numbers, then decide about buying, then financing.

This is a long term development opportunity.

@Preston Dean I personally like to make sure I have a set amount of reserves for each property to cover things, so if you have a pool of funds sitting aside personally I would just earmark a certain amount that you don't touch except for that property (or an emergency).

My partner and I have been living in Dutchess for a few years, and are moving a bit north for his work, and are excited at the real estate opportunities this also unlocks.
