Real estate can be tough, but I’m a big believer that with the right support and community, we can all succeed and spread our knowledge to one another.Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

If you’re working with a tax professional ask them to do a tax projection for you with one scenario assuming you sell all 5 today and the other assuming you only sold 2 today.With the tax projection you’ll now have a good estimate of what your tax situation will look like and can make decision based on that.Maybe you can consider selling your portfolio and doing an installment sale, this won’t help on the depreciation recapture but it would help spread the gain over multiple years.Each strategy has pros and cons, if you want to rip the bandaid off an be done cold turkey (or warm turkey if you’re into that) there most likely will be a large tax hit but less headache holding them longer.

I would agree with @Garrett Brown You want to spread your risk by adding more units than one large monolith.

That's a wide spread. 

Spread the knowledge that I have gained in my 20+ years but most importantly....2.

If you want a lower tax bill then you would want deductions immediately, if you want profitability in the short term then you would want to depreciate as that spreads depreciation expense over the years.

As a user I have to do that in the lead list by creating a "tags" column in the spread sheet prior to uploading. 

But why in the hell would someone want to spread their money out over so many different places?

You'll find that there are plenty of large scale wholesale companies, but also smaller wholesalers that tend to source deals with larger spreads.

or is it spread out in the larger San Antonio area and other places as well.
