Wanting to lean on some of fellow investors experience when it comes to technology that can help provide leads/ gain some insight into leads.

A lot of other markets 20 years from now could be ghost towns with little demand.But on the flipside, that safety/security comes with lessor immediate returns, as is a normal balance with investments (more risk traditionally equals more short term gain potential). 

I would not include appreciation since that is an unrealized gain.

Value $900,000; $600,000 debt, $200,000 basis; 7% sales commission, only him- mother is deceased- $250,000 cap gain tax free, $70,000 sales concessions or repairs, capital gain tax on $550,000 less costs,  etc etc.  2 out of 5 year rule, can he live in other buildings?

Is wholesaling a good first step for gaining experience?

I want to buy him out because the property has a 3% mortgage rate, has gained 100k in equity the last 4 years and cash flows 1k a month.

They can optimize tax strategies across states and assist with allocating deductions, handling multiple-state filings, structuring future ownership, and advising on capital gains or 1031 exchanges.

The next phase of my maturation cycle is gaining "on the job experience" in the form of GP participation before attempting to take down a deal by myself. 

I like to keep things simpleEIther sell him 1/2 the share directly(Look to see if you can defer your gain/tax.Or look to become partners in a new property.

Hoping to gain some confidence and knowledge in the BP community!
