Hello,I’m recently divorced. I got my kids 50/50 of the time so I thought the right move was to purchase another SFH. I was just introduced to REI after I bought my primary residence  I am looking to start investing (...

I proposed to my parents, that, instead of buying an SFH, we jointly buy a duplex or home with an ADU in Vancouver, expand their budget a bit, and use their cash out from their home as down payment, while I pay the mortgage on the new home.

The standard deduction amounts will increase to $12,000 for individuals, $18,000 for heads of household, and $24,000 for married couples filing jointly and surviving spousesIdeally if taking standard deduction you will be debt free sooner. 

You may even be able to get a contractor to joint venture it with you.You're lucky in that you already have the land, so it's very easy for you to market a "house to be built", and find out easily if it's marketable or not.

. #4 was a Joint Venture which I would have been terrified to do a few years ago.

Of course, you can sell the project to a developer and do really well.A better option, in my opinion, is to joint venture with a developer.

Hello,I am currently in the process of purchasing a multifamily and I have someone who is interested in doing a joint venture on this property with me.

If you have lived in it for at least 2 of the last 5 years, you can sell it and retain up to $250k (if single) or $500k (if married flinging joint) in gain without owing any tax on it because of the Section 121 exclusion.

You could do 10 in your name and 10 more in your wife's name... together you would only be limited to 10 if you did them jointly. 

Meaning an individual whose annual income exceeds $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with a spouse exceeding $300,000 for those years and a reasonable expectation of the same income level in the current year.
