Hi Brad,It looks like you had lots of great answers already, but I wanted to chime in with my two cents.Using Traditional IRA funds for a down payment on a single-family home (SFH) investment property can be tricky because the IRS has specific rules regarding retirement accounts and real estate investments.

Okay that seems like good news for making a BRRRR work in my market since I was looking to spend something like 45-75 on rehabs for these smaller sized homes. 

If you live in the home for 2 out of the past 5 years and move out of state you may be exempt from the tax.  

Became a real estate agent after I fell in love with home ownership processes and out of love with my 9-5.

I have found that multifamily properties tend to cash flow better than the single family homes. 

And a condo can take longer to sell when you exit compared to a detached home.

I could have fully rehabbed that home and sold for $175K but instead I sold as a fixer upper (only needed cosmetics).

Hey Tyler we hate to hear that your experience was negative sincerely we would have hoped that we could have come to a resolution we know that you and your partner had made a request that we do $800 of work that was unfortunately not in your scope of work at the time we had exhausted $4900 in additional work to ensure the property was to satisfaction which included a new hood range upgraded lvp flooring additional framing  new window and a paint upgrade from a single color format to a multi color format and can lighting all of which was never in the original scope and unfortunately when we requested that we do the work you declined I’ve attached before and after videos of the home for reference https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/h0ddll4cyp5g5gq12o73s/Video-J... always twos sides to these stories.. 

Rates are going to start to fall in or aroud May/June of this year so by the time you have purchase the nest home you can do a "Rate & Term" refiance and lower the rate on the first home. 

For example if a single family home rents for $1700 in your area.
