As you gain experience on what you really couldn’t learn from books or podcasts, you will have the fallback of the annuities to bail you out.

I am selling a property in CA with a pretty hefty gain (great!)

I'm just wondering how to handle the capital gain tax between me and my partner.

Leveraging the 5% down conventional loan is a brilliant way to minimize upfront costs while still gaining a foothold in appreciating markets like Gilbert, AZ.

Nickerson added “exchanging” real estate to upgrade to larger holdings without paying capital gains tax to his formula, and a number of other books were written about the subject in the next 10 years.  

After five years you'll have earned $90,000 in rent income and gained $34,000 in appreciation.Buy four houses with $50,000 down on each.

Out-of-state is more ideal once you have gained experience.

This ensures any future equity gains benefit only you and allows you to control the property fully.Buying a Third Home: Using proceeds from the rental home's sale to buy another house hack and renting out your current home entirely could generate substantial rental income.

Gains me more equity and my end loan is less which gives me more cash flow. 

You likely still would owe capital gains tax on these.
