I'm looking to purchase my first property with my fiancé (both 25) with the goal being to establish our primary residence together, as well as giving me the opportunity to add equity/value via rehab before moving on and converting the property into a rental within a year or so to kickstart an investment portfolio.An interesting lead that recently came up is my parent's neighbor's house.

I own one rental property with a mortgage of $3,400 and rental income of $3,300.

New Jersey property management is pretty bad overall.

First, estimate what the renovation would cost, how long it would take, and how much extra you could potentially sell the property for once it’s fixed up.

The vehicle is over 6000 pounds GVWR and will be used nearly entirely for business (going to current rental and searching for new properties to acquire)."

I love Mt Ranier, but the property tax rate is crazy.

@David Matarazzo  Did either of you move forward with them for property loans?

Why not use your IRA to just buy the property? 

At this time, I'm not looking to invest out of state.Option 2: Pay capital gain taxes and use it to finance my primary property renovations.
