So after speaking with our cpa we have decided now will be the time to sell and avoid capital gains tax ! 

Interest rates decreasing a little more will be necessary to make this possible, too (DSCR loan).Also I will have another deal refinanced by then and gain about $70,000 of capital from refinancing that.

If I could move to a more simple software than QBO, it would save me several thousand a year, and the simplicity would be valuable as well.

To support my seller and seize a valuable opportunity, my business partner and I decided to purchase the property ourselves.

If this effort gains traction, it could fundamentally reshape the U.S. mortgage market, impacting financing options for real estate investors nationwide.The Role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in Housing FinanceFannie Mae (Federal National Mortgage Association) and Freddie Mac (Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation) are government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) that purchase mortgages from banks and lenders, package them into mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and sell them to investors.

Gaining clients from your interactions should be a secondary goal. 

If my business owner bank statements did not gain me an approval, I was going to go the hard money route.

Your problem will be them incurring capital gains taxes simply so you can get a commission.

I’ve been in the industry for a little under a year now and have gained a solid understanding of the market here.

When investing in high cash-flow markets, I always recommend working with an investor friendly agent so you're able to gain the right insight on the different areas and the risks involved.
