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

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!

Thanks @Brian Ortins our agent has been great to work with, she definitely takes the extra steps needed to get them sold. 

I’m a DIYer who is really needing an extra set of hands for most things.

The area might just be extra popular at this time.

This setup adds an extra layer of anonymity and protection.

Congrats and knock out that extra debt you accumulated so you can save up for STR #2!

Then sell on the side, extra pipeline for revenue. 

I expect renovations to cost $60-70k (I’m padding in extra for worst-case scenarios, I’m conservative like that).
