I am military, and from what I’ve read there is an exclusion of capital gains taxes out to 15 yrs vs the normal 5 for military members.However, I only lived at the property for 18 months, not the 2 years required. 

How is the capital gain calculated if I live in the larger unit for 2 yrs? 

There was a group trying to get off the ground maybe 2 yrs ago. 

I am married and my family size is three (me, my wife, and 3 yrs daughter).

So I'm I getting this right property has to be sold to state for more than 5 yrs

A CPA well versed in REI or Financial planner.Scenario#1: Cash on hand $1,050,000.  7 yrs to retirement. 

The property was an acreage held for investment until approx 4 yrs ago. 

We've been together since we were 16 & 17yrs old / 30 yrs this month. 

I still complete 2-3 LDRs a year, but those are only for stabilized smaller assets where I have a trusted team that I’ve worked with for 5+ yrs.

I have 9 properties and always have self-managed for 8 yrs and even while in Afghanistan.
