Just to confirm my understanding, you are living in a side by side duplex in Miami - you want to renovate the other side that you aren't living with a renovation loan?

The single biggest advantage of selling your homestead is that you can take all the Cap gain tax free if you have lived in the home as your homestead for 2 of the last 5 years. 

Your argument would suggest that if I bring home $2k/month in cash flow from a rental property in LA (where I live), that's a good deal, even though I probably had to put $2M cash into it initially.

Not quite, Baltimore has been my major focus for now.I actually live around Edgewood though!

Add to that there is currently a ban on foreign buyers in Canada (only a few exceptions and as far as I know they all involve living here).Capital gains taxes apparently used to be higher (before my time). 

I’ve lived in Cape Coral since 2013. 

Hey Scott,I have family members that live in Greenville, North Carolina, but I myself live in Creedmoor, North Carolina.

This is my market and I live and work in 78610.

Back in 2022, we tackled a property we affectionately called the "Scary House," and trust me, it lived up to the name.

They have already called a real estate agent to list on the MLS and when the agent comes over to take the listing, they tell the prospective seller that the dog poop in the living room has got to go.The rot in the bathroom behind the toilet needs to be fixed.
