Sorry for the slow response had a wedding to prepare for at my house and just in recovery after being in the hospital.

What is she doing now in terms of paying for housing? 

Just bought 3 houses last week from a builder. 

Hi All, any input on renovating a house and possible tax exemptions under an LLC?

Tiny House Dreaming and Tiny Home Projects are currently working with a variety of investors on Pocket Communities and stacked Tiny Homes.

I bought 14 houses basically for free by harvesting the equity in my houses by doing 5 cash out refis.

I took my thrashing as you know in 2020  I do know some of my clients that sell turnkey have been keeping the houses and doing BRRRR instead of selling them to investors that part of the market has slowed signficantly for many in that industry.

Buying a new primary residence has nothing to do with the capital gains exclusion.It is when you go to sell the new house down the line you'll run into a problem.
