(See Dave Foster's response in an earlier thread, below):https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/22...In other words, it's not a requirement to buy "two or three rentals" during the 45 days, but, if you don't spend all the sale price of your condo, aren't you still up for capital gains tax on the difference?

@Dave Foster Thanks so much for your response and thoughts!

@Sarah Brown     @Dave Foster  is good at explaining all the ends and outs.

@Dave Foster, the “no” was in reply to this: >>Thanks for this information, I guess my main concerns with those platforms, and please correct me if I am wrong, is that I don’t get any of the tax benefits of owning real estate like depreciation, mortgage interest, etc. which can make a huge difference.The OP didn’t mention the issue of tax deferral on sale via 1031 exchange.

Quote from @Steven Foster Wilson: Hello Heather, it is so nice to hear when people are starting to jump in on their journey to real estate. 

@Dave Foster Thank you for the insight. the 1031 Route sounds interesting and I guess the question would be what type of properties would other fellow BPs chase after.

@Richard Foster you wanna sell any of them? 

Cultivate and foster those connections, my friend.

@Dave Foster - Thanks for your knowledge, you cleared up a lot.
