Baselane is much easier to use and has so many other features I like, too.

@Katie Lyon Because our weather is more temperate over the winter months, we have much more consistency in demand across all times of the year, so typically the market stays fairly consistent through all seasons.

BUT The points they charge and interest are both way higher than normal, on some deals I ran numbers the points and interest were going to be 20k on properties where the ARV is 100k so you have to get properties at such a low price to make it work that it is so hard.

I have one long term partnership that we share capital but I still do all the work ( rain maker) he is a cpa so he does do the books and tax return though :)  WE built one subdivision together were he put in 500k and I made him 1.2 mil in 18 months net profit so that was not bad.

I have a followup question - I will realize a lot of capital gain from this home in Idaho, so I think unless I purchase a new primary residence I will have to pay that capital gains tax. 

Do you have experience and know the cycles of your market so you know the best price?

Financing your second property can be tricky since lenders may only count 75% of rental income toward your debt-to-income ratio, so get pre-approved early.

The loan is under my name, so the bank will send me - and the IRS!

So here I am... 

So after speaking with our cpa we have decided now will be the time to sell and avoid capital gains tax !
