Residential loans where borrowers do not need money but want the money (ie. they could have paid cash but want to have some leverage).AVOID:1.

You have the ability to sell while limiting your capital gains tax because you lived in 2 of the last 5 years.

Somebody bought that house at Tax Sale.   

I’d love your input on whether this deal could appeal to investors and how best to structure it.Property Details:Worth: ~$300,000HOA: $273/month, Taxes/Insurance: ~$170/monthCurrent Rent: $1,880/month (long-term); next tenant advertised at $1,950/month.Mid-term rental potential: ~$2,400/month (I haven’t tried this, but it’s my estimate).My Financing Idea:Large down payment: ~$125,000 (This is my priority to reinvest elsewhere).Seller-financed balance: ~$175,000 at 4.25% for 30 years.Buyers take over taxes, insurance, and HOA.Questions:1.

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.

@Felicia NituIn addition if you actually want to realize that value, you need to count another 5% for selling costs, and the taxes from the sale.Assuming a 20% capital gains tax, your total ROI on the above scenario would be about 12%, even with the numbers you were using.

Also, cash flow from the rental needs to cover your mortgage, insurance, and taxes.

Do you work with any specialty tax firms to help us small business owners get access to R&D tax credits, cost segregation and other specialty tax credits?
