Close to CA, job growth, no state income tax and low property taxes.

Since this was your primary residence 2 of the last 5 years you would be exempt from taxes on a sale up to $250k in profit ($500k if married filing jointly).

you're still "investing" in it with the down payment, closing costs, setup... so that's capital that could be used for something else. 

Sale price: $325,000 Bought my first property 2020 for my primary residence and was able to purchase another property in 2024.Moved into the new property and converted my 2020 property into a rental.

With as much talk about creating affordable housing in Colorado Springs, there is going to have be some discussion about how to address these rising costs in housing that are not directly related to the sales price of the home.I wish I had a better answer for you, but this is going to be an issue for HOA's in the area for years to come...

Maryland doesn't regulate PMs (which is a whole other story), however if the PM does have a real estate sales license (i.e., they're a Realtor) then they can be subject to discipline by the Maryland Real Estate Commission, and you can be compensated from the MREC Guarantee Fund.

Fund VI did get one sale with a large gain but still has properties left, as does fund VII which had no sales.  

Renter left maybe 6 weeks prior to sale.  

I have just closed on two JAX properties through JWB.  

Why would the age matter if all the major systems have been updated, or the lack thereof, is factored into the sales price?
