Being an agent you're more likely to have access to supplements that would give you the details on this as well- and you know it would be mentioned if these were two separate parcels for property tax purposes then (at least as far as seller knew). 

Very interesting take, I know in the area I’m in,its highly sought after for its own merits due to shopping centers, movie theater, brewery, grocery stores going up.. it’s a property that I see the neighborhood continuing to be a good one.. but the amount I can have in my pocket afterwards is super enticing and was thinking it can more than supplement my funds I’m already sitting in, just waiting for a deal to come up.. so yeah, I hadn’t put much thought into the taxation part of the sale, so thank you!!

My overall goal as of now is to have a good amount of passive income to supplement my salary, be comfortable while giving my wife the ability to go back to school or pursue new work if she wants.

@Joseph SchommerI love the idea of having a steady but seasonal job and the supplementing with rental income, to me, flexibility is everything, you could take on bigger projects in the off season and reap the benefits during the on season!

I own a 19 unit building in Berwyn where we have a Fannie Mae loan in place, and those have built in supplementals where you can access additional funds down the line.

There was a water bill for about $200 that put them even further behind, but they have been paying the rent every month from a Section 8 payment and supplementing the remaining payment themselves. 

Thank you @Dave SkowBeyond the SAFE MLO exam ... what recommendation can you offer for supplemental training? 

Probably all brokerages have plenty of online training, but that probably should be the supplement, not the primary type of training for new agents.Three questions I suggest you ask any brokerage is #1 to see the training room. 

My thought in that scenario is that we could purchase an investment property to "househack" and/or LTR/STR and start accruing cash flow to supplement our income. 

I am planning to rebuild and hoping insurance will cover most of the costs, but I might see if I can supplement that payout with some of my own funds to build something nicer than what I had before.
