I commend you for pulling the trigger based on having just enough experience, and not over analyzing. 

That conversion will not trigger any tax.Unfortunately we can no longer eliminate all of the tax simply by converting to a new primary and living there. 

Operating through an LLC can certainly provide some protection, but many mortgage companies include a "due on sale" clause in their contracts, which means transferring the property could technically trigger the need to pay off the mortgage. 

They offered no compassion for my situation and instead decided to withhold essential components of the course, leaving me in a precarious position.Adding insult to injury, the course’s foundation hinges on gaining access to the multiple listing service, a privilege primarily available to licensed agents or brokers.

Immediate body harm, life injury, and or property damage was a high risk.

Just finished my major in Business Management and am receiving my Management and Supervision certificate this summer.I've been studying real estate for a few years now, have watched tons of videos, calculated and ran numbers on numerous properties and listings, and talked with many lenders and real estate agents, but because I don't have anyone in my circle that's well-experienced in REI's I've hesitated to pull the trigger on anything.I'm looking to fix and flip, BRRR, LTR, MTR, STR, or multi-family.

At what price differential would you pull the trigger on doing new instead of used? 

I have been very hesitant to pull the trigger anywhere outside of LA.

Whatever it is you choose to do, you should do it the same way every time.I've seen landlords use credit scores alone as a deciding factor, saying 700+ is instant approval and below that could trigger a call for more applications.

Converting from investment to primary does not trigger the tax.
