I’m thinking of selling while prices are still high , and paying cash for a multifamily or 2 separate properties to get a better ROE than I have now, however .. if I’m patient rates will come down in a couple years , not to 3% , but perhaps that’s my better strategy , then I don’t have to sell and pay capital gains, I can rent this place out & buy another with a refi at 5-6% is my guess - thanks !

This allows for a larger annual depreciation and lower capital gains if you ever sell. 

I got the drive just looking for any wisdom I can gain maybe even a mentor??

If you live in it at least 2 years, you have the option to sell within 3 years after move out and not pay capitol gains taxes on up to $250k in profit as a single person.

Aside from offering this as a benefit to outstanding tenant prospects.So, you think a GOOD tenant will break a lease and accept a judgement against them that may follow them as a lien, gaining interest all along, and nixing their hopes of buying a home for years unless eventually paid off?

From what I have gained you can also vet them yourself to ensure they meet your tenant standards.

Has anyone used one to "store" some excess capital gains to defer Taxes?  

Does anybody have ideas to where other areas in North Charleston are gaining traction?

Investing into something passive isn't going to teach you anything at your age.Go to or start a real estate investing club at your school as well.

I was wondering if you could share the file mentioned above with me and if you have any additional information you have gained throughout your journey and experiences I would love to hear!
