@Mark Sproesser if your only concern is after your death, then get yourself a trust, you won't have to deal with probate for the house or any of your other assets, and you won't have to play roulette with your current prop 13 status or uncle Sam, as an added bonus you'll get a healthcare directive so you can dictate who is to make your healthcare decisions if you are unable to.

Hey @Samuel SamA good place to start would probably to check out the "Education" tab on BP.There is a good selection of books and videos that can help you get started.Another thing would be for you to take a look at the webinars that Brandon does and has done.https://www.biggerpockets.com/webinarshttps://www.biggerpockets.com/proreplayAlthough to watch the archived ones, you'll need a subscription. 

Sam,A couple of suggestions:1. submit a claim to the Condo Association's Master policy.  

Hi Sam, a quick check says that there are 3,057 people in the Metropolis of Nevada City.

Meaning your entire cashflow+equity can be tax-free recapture-free used in the next property. 1031 sounds great although you'll have to pay Uncle Sam a big tax at the last property. 

This was a honest mistake, no one is going to kick down your door, your just gonna pay Uncle Sam a little bonus. 

You have to live in a property for two of the past five years to write off capital gains, but I like not paying Uncle Sam a portion of my profits, so I've always done the live in flip.

Sam,As your agent told you, there are some Insurance companies that will not Insure a rented dwelling with a pool.  

@Anna Sam a deal is a deal.
