- If so, 1031 into something bigger and easier to manage and then when you pass, the inheritor receives your property(s) at a stepped up basis - subject to Inheritance Tax limits.Otherwise, sell one every 1-5 years when you need the cash, so you can plan expenses to offset capital gains.14 properties - presume these had to have been single families.Oh, I'm modifying the original post to mention leaning toward creating a trust which we manage..so we would own very little yet manage the trust which owned investments and such.Here is what I understand/misunderstand (better or worse) on moving every 2 years (as we are open to that albeit pia.) • Multi-unit would only support a %, so a quad would 25% and prorated over all years of ownership....witteling advantage to not worth the effort. • Single unit properties get pro-rated.

Hi Pamela,The kind of guide you're trying to create can already found all over the internet and are very easy to find and some of them, written by other real estate agencies, are pretty good.

Seller financing, subject-to deals (taking over the seller’s mortgage), or lease options can create terms that work for both parties.

Hey bigger pockets family, I'm facing a dilemma that consists of me choosing whether or not to buy a tiny home and put it on my current home's property, creating an ADU to rent out or to save that money that I would put into the tiny home and save for my next purchase.

Do you also create a virtual account for those? 

If your gain exceeds the exclusion, you’ll owe capital gains tax on the remaining amount.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

With my background in hospitality and a drive to create exceptional guest experiences, I decided to take the leap.

(I know, nothing is certain but just hypothetically) and all cash out loans are not created equal. if you have a lot of equity you can borrow up to 60% with the lowest rate possible, which would be close to a half point lower then borrowing up to 75% loan to value. 

Quote from @Franklin Marquette: When building ADUs, do they generally create value uplift for the property in the same way that the main house is valued?

So back to being a real estate investor: the only way to be one is to buy a property and create value out of it, whether through finding a below market value house and selling for a profit, or renting and creating cash flow.
