so the software that I use, "can" see inside the house by comparing photo between pre-flip and after-flip from house in particular neighborhood.

Hi, I had a painter who seems inexperienced who painted my house( referred by one other good handyman who gave up after taking half advance saying he got big projects cannot do these small jobs).

As a broker I did everything in house

If I put all of my eggs in one basket (Florida in this case), paid off property and a hurricane blows everything away, FEMA is nowhere to be found and the insurance companies take years to pay what little claims they actually do pay, I suffer through it in a blown out house.

I have had 8 at my 3 bed/ 2 bath houses, largely because of the bathrooms. 

==========================My relative is asking if this is a viable way to legally avoid having to pay taxes:STEP 1: SELL PRIMARY RESIDENCE (House A)-Sell primary residence to son-in-law for cost basis + $500K-File gift tax form for difference between sale price & market value-Not pay capital gains on $500K due to personal exemption.STEP 2: SELL RENTAL PROPERTIES-Do 1031 exchange and buy House A back from son-in-law-Rent out House A for 1 year before move back in==========================Thoughts?

Is this in your wheel house?

I've been looking into going with the route of section 8 (or housing choice voucher).

I’ve personally gutted and rehabbed three of my own houses, and for the last three years, I’ve been hands-on managing my own rental properties.

My problem was by that time so much was owed, it was more than the house was worth.
