Three Months ago, low to mid 6's were available.Rates are going to continually fluctuate but if you have a way to earn 10+% on your capital, the TIME you are not using it is going to cost you way more than the extra .5% per year will.You are walking over dollars to save pennies if you are waiting for the perfect rate, half of the people who held out on getting mid 6's were waiting for high 5's.

This option minimizes taxes while allowing more flexibility to reinvest without 1031 restrictions.Option C: Sell Now Without the ExclusionSelling immediately means paying capital gains tax on the entire gain, including depreciation recapture, making this the least tax-efficient option.Additional Considerations:HELOC or Cash-Out Refi: If you want to keep the rental while accessing equity for your retirement home, consider a HELOC or cash-out refinance instead of selling.Estate Planning: If you hold the property until passing it to heirs, they receive a step-up in basis, eliminating capital gains taxes entirely.For tax efficiency, staying two more years allows you to partially exclude capital gains, while a 1031 exchange defers taxes if you plan to continue investing in rental properties.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I will definitely continue to look in the Akron Area for my next deal!

But with so many markets that are growing and will continue to for reason that are obvious.  

If you would like to continue to operate as a short term rental, you will need to submit a new STR application for this property and must go to the Board of Adjustment and be granted a special exception for staff to approve this request for a Type 2 STR Permit.The Board of Adjustment consists of eleven (11) members; you will have to get a concurring vote from nine (9) out of eleven (11) members in order to be granted the special exception.

Saturation is definitely upon us but quality product continues to get booked just like other markets.

The note from the first seller is only $88,600 so you have more than enough equity remaining to place it in second position which leaves $61,400 in equity on the new property or about 4%.The first seller continues to receive payments and has sufficient collateral to cover the note.

That and continuing the current tax cuts.
