Is there anyway to defer taxes on selling a business or do I just have to suck it up and pay the capital gains? 

Right now, my focus is on leveraging my degree and skills to land a higher-paying job, increase my annual income, and ultimately grow my net worth.Real estate has always been something I’ve been interested in, and my long-term goal is to start investing in both real estate and retirement to build financial security.

It seems more your fault for choosing the "lying" contractors from the tenants point of view, if you ask them to pay up, I'm sure they would.

My parents had to stop paying the mortgage and I could feel the stress radiating through the home every time I visited.

@Dillon Clark-don't pay extra down on your mortgage-don't use a HELOC-save up as much as you can-hope this helps

They sent a new contract trying to bind me to still pay $200 per month, which I refused to sign.

We’ll pay to get it fixed that’s not the problem.

I had a nice conversation with them and approved their booking for Aug 2025.So, it pays to keep an eye out for a repeat booking that looks fake as they could just not be seeing you responses. 

We have an existing mortgage (backed by these 2 lots and 2 others) and given the increase in appraised value there is no need to pay anything back to the lender when selling the lot.

Ran the numbers through two different spreadsheets and am very aware of how much we'll pay to the PM.
