But that extra $100k beyond that....depends on what you used those funds for. 

That said, with today's rates, every increment of extra mortgage is way costlier than it was four years ago during the sub-3%-rate Covid days. 

-My fiancée and I are planning on having our first kid by the beginning of 2026, so extra room would be ideal as we are somewhat limited in the primary residence. 

.- Giving up too early – Sometimes, a few extra follow-ups could seal the deal, but many investors drop the ball too soon.💡 One trick that helped me?

I am under contract on a property that looks like it will not close.When I got the 3 fireplaces inspected, it was only a few hundred dollars extra to chimney sweep them at the time of inspection so we paid to get them swept. 

And you have taken the extra 150 hours required for the broker's license? 

Variables that might change that number would be size of house, number of beds, extra duties you want the team to do (like fetch supplies) and perhaps the drive to a remote area. 

Or sell using the 1031 exchange along with a partial 121 primary residence exemption There is a way you could take advantage of the 121 primary residence exclusion allowing you to take the first $250k of the gain tax free ($500k if married) and qualify for a 1031 exchange.Say you purchase a property as your primary residence (house hack extra rooms for extra income) and lived there for two years while stationed there.

There is usually extra charges on closing to pay for that service… but it is minimal.All the best!
