My LOT was $32,500 and then they added the FOA to cover the first 2-3 years. 

Im going to do more of that this year.  

My rentals are all over the place and on a yearly basis I make multiple and consistent visits to these places. 

However, year-over-year average and median prices increased for the 5th year in a row.

Seller financing: Note for $1,350,000.00  - 7% amortized over 30 years with balloon payment after 7 years, interest only. ( I am trying to get the first year at 6% to stabilize then go to 7% remaining 6 years)Property Condition: Above average.

So it looks like you would need around 4-5 years to get to break even by selling those stocks and paying the tax now. 

Do those both not increase every year or every couple of years at the minimum.

For OO owning it for 2 years of 5 gets $250K gains per spouse of tax free gain.  

One of my goals for this year is to buy a property OOS and another one in my backyard.
