I’ve specialized in working with real estate investors for many years, and I’d love to hear more about your goals.

Hello everyone, I am focusing on acquiring my first multifamily deal this year. 

Charlotte and Phoenix used to copy each other in trends but the last few years Phoenix pulls ahead so, depending on your strategy, follow the money and invest in Phoenix. 

Not sure how old you are, and $200K in a 401K may be a little or a lot based on age, there may be so many implications taking out money from your $401k, especially if you are still working for this company.feel free to reach out for tax advice

If you live there 2 years or more before selling you will be exempt from tax on the 1st $250k in profit which is a nice bonus.

Walder, It's been 3 years since you posted here about RFG.

A good real estate accountant can save them thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend that they find a tax accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.I would also recommend that they look for a accountant willing to work with them throughout the year, who can help them strategize and who is responsive when they want to know the consequences of the financial decisions they are making throughout the year.Good luck.

Assuming this is an 8 cap neighborhood you'd have a ~$420-450k value within a year (unless property taxes are crazy high) when leases would renew since it'd be valued as a commercial building with the office space.
