The only shot they got, it would have to be decentralized of any 1 of there governments, decentralized of any one of there currencies, decentralized of any one of there controls, and thus backed, back by something of unifying power, weight and importance that transcends religion, region, culture.     

I aspire to connect with others and gain knowledge about the BRRRR strategy and multifamily investments.

I share that personal story, not to throw shade on any who have had a bad experience with bad tenants on the program, because they do exist, but to shed light on how effective and life-changing it can be when the users leverage it as intended, and the landlord also gains by housing those types of tenants.

I’m a hands on type of person so I will be focusing on properties in and around Tampa, Florida so that I can be up close and personal and learn as much as possible.I’m excited to be a member of this community and I look forward to exchanging ideas, strategies, and gaining knowledge from all of you as I dive deeper into this exciting world of investing.

You presented a perspective I had completely overlooked.Would you still recommend negotiating a lower purchase price vs cashier's check on closing given that we're in a higher income tax bracket and thus capital gains tax could come into play in the future? 

I am a high-wealth earner with years of employment ahead for me, so I will not feel the weight of this loss other than shame on me for not appreciating this risk better before committing.

You get 500k of tax free gains on sale of primary home.

If you want rental property, you could take that equity and buy several houses better suited to renting.Selling now makes sense because you can also avoid the capital gains tax because you lived in the property 2 of the last 5 years. 

But then wouldn’t I be losing all the gained equity in our primary home?

Cost segregation is excellent for STRs because you can take it to offset the terrific gains on this type of property as well as off-setting it against W2 income if you are materially participating in its management.
