You may also have to get your "hands dirty" in order to make these properties cash flow.

I plan on getting a property every year until I retire if I can find a good deal that cash flows positively.I have a very close friend whose stationed in Columbus GA whose a real estate investor and owns rentals there!

Also, the home owner most likely has a mortgage and receiving a large amount of cash and then not spending it for 3 months can be more challenging than you’d think.

So about a 35% cash on cash return for my buddy each year on his $100,000.

Couple this with the "Cash Distributions from Capital Transactions" clause and you begin to see the real problem.

Since you want to aggressively invest in the near future, you will need cash and the 30 year option is the right one for you.

. - When we've review these options with clients the ending outcome is typically that it's easier to forgo the 121 exclusion if you want to keep this property; and do a cash-out refinance (taking on more debt isn't taxable) instead. 

I listed my property for free in Macon, GA and they've been connecting me with tenants who want to Airbnb.

There are ways to invest in real estate without using your own cash upfront.
