Hard to argue selling the home and not having to worry about the gain.You can use 1/2 the funds towards your down payment of a personal residence and then still have enough funds to maybe buy 2-3 investment properties.

About me: owner of a primary residence, looking to get a multifamily (preferred but open to single family) property soon.

@Sonia Arreguin we just had a resident pass away and we requested a certificate of death.
