I would prefer to pay the capital gains today as based on how we spend money as a country, that capital gains rate most likely is going to be heading up in the future not down.

Many are looking to retire or shift out of active management, especially as interest rates rise.From what I’ve read in Bloomberg, Austin's market in 2025 remains highly competitive but still has opportunities in older neighborhoods and suburban areas.

Occupancy rates are not 90%, it's seasonal, especially the mountains.

Combine that with rates that are near high for this century.  3 things could solve this 1) RE prices fall (that would be bad for me) 2) rents increase a lot without RE prices increasing similarly (this would be bad for tenants) 3) rates fall a lot.  

Next PA has very strict requirements for interest rates which you cannot be in double digits.

I also have two buy-and-hold rental properties and am passionate about exploring unique financing opportunities.Recently, I used a VA loan assumption to purchase an investment property at a 3.3% interest rate, which was instantly cash flow positive. 

They are farily easy and do nto require much to get started and the Max LTV is going to be 75% but I have seen some exceptions to 80%.Rates are subject to a few thing like loan amount, property type, number of units, credit score and downpayment.DSCR allows you to purchase with No employment and No tax returns so its a little easier. 

Don't fall in love with the interest rate.

The purchase price is $325,000, and as part of an end-of-year incentive, DR Horton bought the interest rate down to 3.99%.

The goal is to determine whether the government accurately adjusts DoD Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) rates and to develop a predictive model to calculate possible future BAH rates for specific locations.We have pulled rental data from Zillow and historical BAH rates from the DoD.
