(As AZ and your current state will fight over who gets to tax your gains with the federal government.)I have to throw most of the shade on your horrible tax guy/cpa who didn’t tell you renting it out was a $50-$100k mistake. 

Selling may trigger capital gains tax, but if you lived there for two of the last five years, you may qualify for a Section 121 exclusion.

I didn’t see your location in your profile or your post, but assume at least 17% state/federal taxes leaves you with $10k/yr. 

When I look at the equity and the 15% Capital gains tax bracket I would likely be in, I would avoid ~$24,000 in taxes if sold before Aug. 2025.- I am aware of my 1031 options should I want to sell and defer taxes beyond that 3-year date (and would need to continue to do so until death if I wanted to avoid those taxes instead of just defer them). - I believe the current rental situation I have is better than the property warrants.

This allows you to use all of the tax and deferred depreciation recapture to purchase the larger MF propertyA consolidation exchange is where you sell multiple investment properties to purchase a larger and nicer investment property, but you also get the benefit of using all of the tax you would have had to pay to your advantage.

Areas near oil production hubs could experience economic booms, creating localized opportunities for real estate investments.Beyond these broader economic initiatives, Bessent has been vocal about extending or even expanding the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA).

Also 4th quarter of last year Packwood and county officially did discuss potentially regulating STR's by either limiting numbers or adding a tax to cover increases in local services that are needed. 

You’ll have 45 days from your sale to identify them and you’ll have to buy enough of them, and only them, within 180 days of your sale to meet your 1.1M requirement, or face taxes.
