I  did say i am planning to sell my business to free up some capital.

Excited to see where you put that equity next—what’s the plan for reinvesting? 

This is something I try to live by and teach my kids if I can - "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

If purchasing new real estate as part of your reinvestment, a cost segregation study can maximize depreciation deductions, offsetting future taxable income.For effective planning, assess how the sale price is allocated between real estate, tangible assets, and goodwill, as this determines the tax treatment.

But in Smarter Contact, even though it's not required (if you're in the Elite or Enterprise Plans), they're strongly suggesting it and even have a report on "carrier block rate" percentage.

We redo the kitchen with granite or quartz, stainless steel appliances and new floors if needed. 

I currently live in it as my primary residence but had plans to eventually rent it out and then cash out refi once I reach 20% equity in the property.

My plan is to start with house hacking, but I have some concerns.

All new flooring, painting, throughout the house.

I plan to hodl for the long term
