I currently run an Airbnb in Dawsonville and I’m getting ready to open two more in the Port St Joe Area.

@Joe Au, the seller is telling you that they may be using the proceeds from the sale of the property to purchase another property in a way that allows them to not pay tax on the profit from the sale.
