You presented a perspective I had completely overlooked.Would you still recommend negotiating a lower purchase price vs cashier's check on closing given that we're in a higher income tax bracket and thus capital gains tax could come into play in the future? 

You get 500k of tax free gains on sale of primary home.

If you want rental property, you could take that equity and buy several houses better suited to renting.Selling now makes sense because you can also avoid the capital gains tax because you lived in the property 2 of the last 5 years. 

But, in today's market, especially if you are not a builder already with your own teams, the cost to buy an existing property is often cheaper than constructing.But like Jaron noted, you have access to capital through some form of refi on inherited property, and that gives you options on how best to invest that money.

I share that personal story, not to throw shade on any who have had a bad experience with bad tenants on the program, because they do exist, but to shed light on how effective and life-changing it can be when the users leverage it as intended, and the landlord also gains by housing those types of tenants.

But then wouldn’t I be losing all the gained equity in our primary home?

Cost segregation is excellent for STRs because you can take it to offset the terrific gains on this type of property as well as off-setting it against W2 income if you are materially participating in its management. 

Ironically, BP is now organizing content and CHARGING for access to that content, so they've gone full cycle. 

This is the perfect place to connect with like-minded people, gain insights, and grow in your real estate journey.

The real value I see in the course is that he has access to more capital than most investor would trust me with.
