A tax professional can confirm the best move based on your full financial picture.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

If you need financial help, ask under the "Finance, Tax, and Legal" forum.

Quote from @Tom Grieshammer: I’m 26 and living with my parents so I’ve saved 120,000 and am trying to become financially independent.

But the real secret to making money in real estate is finding the right properties at the right price—and that's where off-market deals come in.Off-market properties typically cost less than those listed on the MLS because sellers are often motivated by reasons other than price, like financial distress or personal circumstances.

We tried to analyze financials with reference to the terms of the agreement.

While this has served me and my family well, it has not allowed me to become financially free. 

If uncertain, a financial advisor or real estate attorney can provide tailored guidance.
