We go into this using the buy and hold strategy so I'm perfectly fine with my capital being locked in for the long haul.  

On that $x, you can defer $x of your gain, which would then be deferred from 2024, and taken into income on 12/31/2026.Working with your tax advisor you could toy around with what is the right amount to defer from 2024 until 2026, and just invest that amount.  

The bad experiences are painful but pretty much all real estate investors that make it over the long haul go through them all so good to knock them out early!

of course,  there was a toy stuck in there.  

In fact, I don't even run numbers anymore, partially because I know what will work cash flow-wise (or break even at least), partially because in hindsight your XLS is always wrong, but mostly because I am collecting quality assets for the long haul and math does not capture a collection.

All of that concrete rubbish has to be hauled away and new soil brought in.

Doing a remodel on a 750sqft unit and am curious on what people use to haul the demo away?

They will likely put a lien on the property for the costs of demolishing the house and hauling off the debris. 

I include a generalized listing of items such as " Property including, but not limited to: clothing, toys, cookware, and other items." 

Landlord friendly, legislatively friendly and where the U Hauls are going, not leaving like NYC.
