Personally, I'm in the growth phase so I'm still working to acquire more properties and utilize more leverage. 

To minimize capital gains tax on the sale of their primary residence, your in-laws can utilize the $500,000 capital gains exclusion, potentially explore an installment sale to spread tax liability over several years, or consider converting the property into a rental to use a 1031 exchange for tax deferral eventually.

Looking to utilize my equity as necessary as I purchased during the onset of COVID before the prices skyrocketed.

Does that include utility service to the house, a driveway, septic and well? 

Another option would be to utilize a property manager to manage everything and keep a buffer between you and the tenants.

Did they also do utilities and roads, or was that left for builder? 

We decided I’d utilize an FHA loan to buy my first property.

It took a little bit for me to understand how to best utilize them team since there are a few different people on your team. 

I recently acquired my first primary residence and am seeing ways I can best utilize the space for real estate investing.

Kudos to you for utilizing and actually finding deals on FB.
