@Aaron Vaughn I appreciate the recommendation, but my preference for the time being is to proceed with investing in the Milwaukee market.  

If investment - proceed to Step 2.Step 2: since it's an investment, it's a capital gain, no SE tax, and 1031 is available.

Hi all,Sold a vacation home in Florida, and as a non-US resident, 15% of sales proceeds were withheld by title company for FIRPTA.

It is the Seller net proceeds, but the Buyers give them the money to do it.

If I sell the home, I don't plan on doing anything with the proceeds other than parking it in a HYSA. 

I intended to sell, buy a one level with the proceeds and take the capital gains hit.

My friend is going through foreclosure. Can you go through the process with submitting an affidavit of your mortgage by also supplying a promissory note? Can this help the homeowner? or do you need someone to buy the ...

I sold the property two years later and used the proceeds from a healthy appreciation to buy lots in a hotter market - Cape Coral.

Is it typically straightforward to make such payments, or is there a chance that the bank might refuse payment and proceed with an auction?

I think overturning some of them will include getting some of the nearby lots to vote on it as there is a clause stating that that's allowed.The thing that scares me the most is regarding the stylistic stuff -- there's a clause stating -- "The homes shall be harmonious with and reflect the exterior design characteristics of these homes already erected on the property" and that combined with -- "it should be lawful for any peron or persons owning any real property situated in said tract, to prosecute an action or proceeding at law or in equity against a person or persons either to prevent him or them from violating these covenants or to recover damages for such violation"My RE lawyer friend said that its such a broad clause that it could potentially open you up to getting sued if a neighbor really wanted to depending on the stylistic choice of your home.
