@Gray BryanTaking out a HELOC/loan won't decrease your taxable gain.Gain is calculated as sales price less adjusted basis(purchase price + improvements - depreciation taken).It looks like there is currently a taxable gain of about $125,000 unless there is significant improvement.

Since you're in a state-permitted area you have more of a gray area than I have, but MJ is still illegal at the federal level.

On those mortgages, you are technically saying that you'll be living in one of the units (though of course this is a gray line and I know plenty of people that just go ahead and rent all units --everyone has their own risk appetite). 3.

However if this is a child from a previous relationship there might be more gray area if the mother set aside some of her estate for him.
