Additionally, crowdfunding offers diversification benefits, allowing investors to spread their risk across multiple properties or projects.

My thinking is Austin is only about an hour away and is booming I believe that will only spread South to more affordable real-estate.

I'm not just talking matching bed spreads with a wall mural, but more like a castle bed that you can walk into with a slide, for example.

It's a strict 2-year requirement.As for strategies to avoid capital gains on the sale, if your client doesn't meet the ownership and use requirements for the Section 121 exclusion, they might explore other options such as:1031 Exchange: If the property is an investment property rather than a primary residence, your client could consider a 1031 exchange to defer capital gains tax by reinvesting the proceeds into another investment property.Installment Sale: If your client is willing to accept payments over time, they could consider structuring the sale as an installment sale, spreading the recognition of the gain over multiple tax years.Charitable Remainder Trust: If your client is charitably inclined, they could contribute the property to a charitable remainder trust, receive income from the trust for a certain period, and then have the remaining trust assets pass to charity upon their death, potentially reducing or eliminating capital gains tax.These are just a few options, and your client's specific financial situation and goals would need to be considered in determining the best approach.

And you are using all of the proceeds from your sale as the down payment you will defer all tax.On the other hand - if you're wanting to sell your property and carry the note back as seller financing to the buyer you will either pay the tax on the note (but it will be an installment sale and so the tax will be spread out). 

I also push wholesalers to create notes for their spreads vs double close or assign then get the investor to pay a little higher fee or interest for X years for the wholesaler to learn how to be a true investor and mailbox money. 

Our kids are spread out all over the country.

Also, keep in mind that although most lenders start with similar "Costs of Funds", we all have different "spreads", or "mark-ups" built into the pricing.

Huge risk for Lp's and Gp's by not spreading out the refi timeline.

How spread out are your communities?
