These loans are quick and align well with your goal of selling within the year...just watch for carrying costs.For Home 2, the $210K mortgage complicates things a bit, but it’s not a dealbreaker.

@Ryan DaultonThe SDIRA is certainly more complicated.

Regarding a 1031 exchange, while the property was rented and treated as an investment property during your deployment, if you maintained it as your primary residence for tax purposes, it may complicate eligibility.

And you don't have Schedule C to deduct the business expense.This might have changed if your RE portfolio was run like a business and/or you have a partnership; the partnership would then deduct the travel expense as an ordinary business expense.As I said, it gets complicated quickly.

It's complicated.

I think many investors stay away from it as it can get quite complicated. 

So, for police officers to investigate these sorts of things is complicated.

Let's ignore the package of or individual SFHs for the moment though, since that is a little more complicated and seems to have been a distraction.

It's really not complicated. 

Way too many over complicate it.
