I'm 25 and live in the Washington DC metro area, and work in financial services.I have done really well investing in the markets and have been trying to save as much as i can (while still enjoying life to the fullest), and have created a nice little nest egg to start my journey in real estate investing.The reason i am starting this thread, is because after living and renting in the DC metro area for 3 years here, i just do not believe the market here is attractive for buying house hacking or renting properties. 

You need to know what you are getting yourself into and these can be tricky.One of the reasons that LIHTC deals are attractive at certain points is that the restrictions can be stripped off through a "qualified contract" process.

I am not sure if you can take a portion of the money but I think that you may be able to designate some of the gain to the exchange.

These partial exclusions were designed to provide  a relief for actual circumstances where you had to move because of various unforeseen reasons.As @Micheal  said, you need to plan carefully now. 

Im really attracted to the low purchase price point and decent rental rates.
