We do have a few other investments besides RE, but they are baby investments.I'm very comfortable with my RE investments which have proven themselves over the last 30 years.

Martin's RE Summit in Oakland in ~2018.

From my experience selling RE and building new homes your just not going to please everyone

In this case, the seller is still responsible for his original loan, and then Ashish's answer is correct: interest deduction belongs to the seller.Once I re-read the original post by Anirudh, I realized that he left both interpretations possible.

I got into RE investing utilizing the same strategy as you're exploring.

I'm interested in evaluating RE investment opportunities in Dubai.

Welcome @Andrae S WigginsThere are REI opportunities in different markets - markets in the Midwest and Southeast of the country are great - where not only are the purchase prices reasonable for most RE investors, but the homes are turnkey (new builds or completely rehabbed homes, tenant ready, systems 10 years of life remaining on them, property management teams in place) with appreciating home value AND appreciating rent. 

Mostly due to the fact my spouse and I agreed on her to have zero involvment in any sort of RE investing (and its our home) I think once you have a good 6-12 months of reserve cash (operating expenses for your own life saved as a back up incase things go bad) save enough liquidity to get the ball rolling on your first invesment.

Here's how each option plays out:Option A: Convert Back to a Rental and Use a 1031 ExchangeIf you re-rent the home for at least one to two years, you can defer capital gains taxes through a 1031 exchange by reinvesting in another investment property.

We couldn't close and had to have (and pay for) a re-inspection, even though the hurricane did not come anywhere close by.
