REI investing for almost 20 years, owning a wealth management company for 22 years, suffice it to say there has been a lot go data/spreadsheeting/tax analysis/meeting with my team go into this overall decision to sell the entire portfolio at once.  

The PM should really cover the $250 mistake, but I would base my decision on my entire experience with them.

You came to the right place for information, Samuel! 

The information contained in this post is not to be relied upon.

Best of luck with your decision.

It’s generally better to pay taxes, especially if it’s preferential LTCG treatment and make a sound investment with cash that remains than defer and make poor investment decisions. 

Depending how much of the neighborhood is a hot zone for renting rather buying, and which Property type is performing better than the other (meaning 1bd 1ba 2 floor renting out faster and much more consistently than a 2bd 1ba 1 floor), you can make your choice of those factors as well as other ones that impact your decision for what you wanna do with your investment.

I have received quotes/feedback from three contractors here I can share some information with you. 

I was starting to get interested in rentredi but the newer replies is making me question that decision.

You and your husband are definitely in the right place to get valuable information.
