Real estate has long been praised for its dual ability to generate cash flow and appreciate in value.

However, after accounting for long-term capital gains tax and other expenses, you would be left with $150k which is important to budget and account for.

When you sell, interview as many as you need until you feel very comfortable with the one you decide to work with.real estate is a big investment, and for me it's long term, I don't want to have buyer remorse because someone isn't as knowledge as I like.when I was younger,  I was more willing or less experienced,  today I want the same level of knowledge as I offer when I help someone with their tax planning or when I prepar their taxes.....Show me your high level of knowledge,  you are hired.

I have been on BP a long time and maybe about eight years ago , a person had a small chance of finding a posted house for sale here that can be flipped.

It's not hard, just takes a few minutes.Like I said above, I haven't been STR hosting for long.
