If losses strain your finances, selling might be the best move, but optimizing rental income or tax deductions could make holding worthwhile.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

As opposed to someone that works a year or less at each job or even moves state to state often. 

Plus there are less moving parts that can break, need constant tightening, lost/missing parts etc.

Investing out of state in the KCMO area sounds like a smart move; it’s such an interesting market with plenty of potential.

@Colby Burns Just curious if you moved forward with Omni Key.

@Gil CanfuBased on my experience working with over 400 investors, investing in a single-family home in Dallas with a $300K budget is a smart move due to the area's strong rental demand and appreciation potential.

In Columbus, you can still find the 1% rule and there's amazing appreciation potential due to how much population growth, job growth, and companies moving/developing there (recently Anduril just announced another 4,000 jobs coming to Columbus Ohio on top of Intel, Google, Amazon, FB, Nationwide, Ohio State University, etc.).

As already mentioned, you could sell via seller financing to lower AGI, as all you would have to claim is the payment income - until balloon payment received.Did know an investor that had 14 properties paid off and he moved into one every two years to then sell with the $250k single exemption.

we have to have pre sales my bank will only give me a certain amount of spec loans but unlimited amount of pre sales. its the only way to keep velocity when you have a larger project like us ( 90 homes) We have been blessed no questions about it.. we made some critical decisions when we started that now look like genius moves :)
