Take care to not commingle funds.The best advice is for you to spend money 💰 with an attorney in your state that is focused on asset protection.

The plan is to sell primary residence in order to have the equity in cash and utilize that cash to fund the multi family purchase and have operating capital. 

Hey @Mordy Chaimovitz, whenever we have to seriously inconvenience residents, we've found that everyone loves a nice gift certificate!

There are only three instances where it makes sense to buy solar panels for your house.1 - You are living off grid. 2 - You live in a state that has sky high electric costs AND great tax insensitive.3 - You have lots of money, don't care if you are paying more, and want to feel like you are saving the planet (even though you really are not). 

@Kristi TietzI'd be very careful using this tactic to get started, especially if you plan to use borrowed money to lend out such as HELOC or credit cards.

Carrying out a comprehensive property analysis is key to pinpointing amenities that will draw in tenants and optimize rental revenue.Decide on your plan for house hacking- will you reside in one unit and lease out the other, or rent out both units and live elsewhere?

@Jonathan GreeneFrom what the realtor told me, the couple who owns it they were going to turn it into a primary residence in the upstairs.

We have 2 W2s( Me+ Spouse).Have a primary residence SFH and 2 rentals.I have around $40K of rental income after all the deductions/depreciation.This time I used a CPA and I am a sure he tried his best to get all deductions possible.

No one cares about that.

It might just be a mute point. if you had a pre existing relationship with a buyer it should take care of itself.
