I get a lot of questions about housing vouchers and how you determine rent amount allowed.

I am under contract to buy and flip a house that I am paying $615K for. 

==========================My relative is asking if this is a viable way to legally avoid having to pay taxes:STEP 1: SELL PRIMARY RESIDENCE (House A)-Sell primary residence to son-in-law for cost basis + $500K-File gift tax form for difference between sale price & market value-Not pay capital gains on $500K due to personal exemption.STEP 2: SELL RENTAL PROPERTIES-Do 1031 exchange and buy House A back from son-in-law-Rent out House A for 1 year before move back in==========================Thoughts?

With the lack of housing and the cost of everything going up, more moderate practical housing spaces might be a thought. 

Just like any of the investment strategies here in BP, they need to evovle as the market and housing landscape evovles.

The baseball season lasts 6-7 months, and I am given free housing during this time, wherever I am currently assigned to play.

House hacking is an excellent strategy, especially with the potential to use an FHA loan to secure a property with a low down payment. 

@Terrence StarkTypically the contract to buy the new house would specify that the builder/seller would deliver the type of plans you are referencing.

I had a rental house that burned down. 

Quote from @Jinxiang Xu: New to being a landlord, and already forked out $20k for foundation repair on this rental house.
