- Renting it Out: The likely rent I'd get in this area will cover half my mortgage payments at the moment- Add Square Footage: Taxes will likely go up significantly- Build an ADU: Overall ROI will likely not offset much since it'll still be counted as value tied to the one house- Selling Off Land: Sits on .5 acre that I might be able to sell.

Also your permitting process, type or land, grade of land, if underpinning is required will all play a factor into your cost. 

Yes the rate is great but if real estate does not appreciate or goes down in the next three years would that change your mind?

Your responsibility to defer all tax would be to purchase at least $450K of real estate using all $350K of proceeds. 

I’m in the learning phase of my real estate investing journey. 

Probably not enough the IRA to own real estate given reserves needed and such.
