The other thing is that if the house is really appreciating rapidly, if you lived there 2 years and sell within 5 you get to keep 250k of the capital gains, which probably makes better sense than keeping long term as a rental. 

Timber you can let grow and it gains value. 

Plus looking to sell a property for her with over 100K equity after commissions, no capital gains tax .That new car smell with 6 miles.

Thus, you kick any capital gains down the road. 5) The best part of the law says that once it has been an investment for a certain number of years, you can actually move into it, and once you have owned it for a certain number of years, the capital gains you kicked down the road can be rolled into the capital gains that is exempt as your personal residence.

That’s a problem if trying to enforce a security position as a lender or Noteholder.You may gain control but economics will dictate structuring a deal to pay the problem spouse something as a “lovely parting gift.” 

Does anyone have any insight on how to branch into government-commercial leasing or gaining employment with JLL?

@Maria JeanetteTax Advantages: Income and gains grow tax-deferred (or tax-free if using a Roth SDIRA).All Costs Through the IRA: Expenses (repairs, taxes, etc.) must be paid from the IRA, so ensure it’s well-funded.You might also want to consult a CPA or attorney experienced with SDIRAs to ensure compliance with IRS rules and maximize benefits.Best of luck!

By collaborating, we can leverage the collective knowledge and resources of more experienced investors in this forum, gaining valuable mentorship to accelerate our growth.

Then their eyes close and the ramble aimless for awhile before they do it again and have no positive traction anywhere.There is NO easy street it's a MYTH.

I can see where it would elevate my efforts and provide a great standard to follow as I gain experience.
