@Donald Candella  A few things (all based on an assumption you're not in some rent-controlled city that has a local ordinance with tighter restrictions).   

Congrats on taking the plunge @Donald C Cox!  

I would even argue that closing real estate loopholes could become retaliation against Trump, given his considerable real estate holdings.

Remember - even during the Trump tax reform debate, 1031s and other tax breaks were threatened, yet they are still here.2.

@Donald C Cox I’m sure there’s one on here.

Research trumps being told.

I am willing to sacrifice if land trumps newer house.

And stated CAP rate is many times trumped with current or future NOI or potential appreciation or avoiding looming cap ex expensees etc.A 10% return can be had. 

In an agreement with the US treasury during the final days of Trump’s time in office, both sides worked out a deal where aggregators (investors) are limited in percentage of total loans that can be second homes or investment properties.

Hey @Donald Pitcher II!
