Fast forward 2 years his landlord mentioned in passing he might sell the property; I was the first person on his mind.

Is there anyway to defer taxes on selling a business or do I just have to suck it up and pay the capital gains? 

Quote from @Laura Yelin: Hello BP'sI like Sherman...I lived there for about 3 years many years ago and still sell and rent there.It's a slow wealth building market in my opinion, not get rich quick.Mostly blue collar stable town.

I’d like to be protected if it takes longer than 60 days to sell a spec.

I see agents and wholesalers trying to sell properties that are supposedly wholesale, but they sell at retail after it's marked up so much.

I've been working in this space for a while, so I can definitely share some insights, tips, and even some lessons learned from my own experiences.Whether you’re curious about neighborhoods, market trends, or just how to navigate buying, selling, or investing here, I’m happy to chat.

Your Solo 401k can sell and carry the note.

He even agreed to selling me one of his since it’s already performing and ready to go.

I find it to be a really good selling point for tenants and with the better quality units I have less maintenance requests.
