What can be unburdened by what has been.and we shall tax your unrealized capital gains. 

That's been my experience and I'm really glad I pivoted, but your location might have other mid-term niches you can capitalize on (construction, business, etc).

@Eugene Lubman Selling the property to your parents allows them to generate passive income while enabling you to perform a 1031 exchange to defer capital gains taxes.

If converted into a rental property, renovation costs can be capitalized for depreciation deductions.Good Luck!

2️⃣ Property Tax Deduction: Claim up to $10K for state & local taxes.3️⃣ Capital Gains Exclusion: Sell your home?

Or, is REPS really a “free lunch” for those who qualify - they can claim an active loss reducing ordinary income today, AND get to claim passive and capital gains in the future on the appreciation?

B) Worst case is I sell my current home, move into the foreclosure, live in it for 2 years, and then resell without the capital gains tax hit.  

A business model that has always made sense to me is teaching people how to find good deals and have them bring them to me for more critical evaluation and execution where I invest my capital beside yours.

This is like when a seller says they don't want to pay capital gains so they want 200k on the contract and 200k in a bag.
