Hi everyone, I’m having trouble finding an answer to this question in the forums and on the web in general.

Basing everything on appreciation is speculation ie gambling.

For instance Baltimore City's real property tax rate is 2.136, for a total effective real property tax rate of 2.248 in Baltimore City for 2021.I don't believe I can post URLs, but the information is available on the MD SDAT web page.

To me it would only make sense to keep your current property if you believe there will be more price appreciation on this property than another one you could buy with more cash flow, but that's a gamble.

A great place to look for such Realtors is right her in the BP web site under the Network section.

.- Cap gain rates increase is only for incomes over $1M- 1031 repeal is only for gains over $500kNo details on either of those thresholds are yet available, so we all have way more questions than answers.Preparing for something that may or may not happen and has no defined form is a gamble.

I had the capital and I did enough research and I didn't feel like I was gambling.
