I would consider doing a portfolio loan in the future but for now thats not necessary.

Capitalize renovation costs to increase the property’s basis and reduce future taxable gains.

But we parted ways and while it is a lot more work, I'm learning so much AND it's more satisfying to me- to have that control, end of day.I would consider working with the right PM company again in the future.

To get the answer, you have to learn how to analyze markets to find those micro-markets...like every other REI has done in the past, still does today, and will do in the future.

Hire an attorney and proceed with the eviction.In the future, I recommend you don't accept "landlord references" from friends or family members.

For context, downtown Alexandria performs super well as a rental market and bringing in $5.5k+ as the monthly rental income if you choose to move out of the househack in the future will be absolutely feasible (depending on the property of course).

This is my first investment of this sort and it has not worked out how I originally intended but I am learning from my mistakes and will be making better decisions in the near future What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

You’d also make all future capital gains at least partially taxable instead of tax exempt by converting your primary to a rental.

Congrats again on a successful 1031 and looking forward to reading more about your journey in the future. 

They refund 2300 back after the first successful deal, and do not require that fee up front for future loans.
