I had a nice conversation with them and approved their booking for Aug 2025.So, it pays to keep an eye out for a repeat booking that looks fake as they could just not be seeing you responses. 

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

The rental income from the first home will pay for the mortgage/monthly costs.  

We’ll pay to get it fixed that’s not the problem.

but keep in mind CA has higher taxes and reg fees and I’m not doing more than 1-2 flips (short timeframe flips)  a year and many years do 0 flipsDo most flippers put flips into LLC Or in personal name (sole proprietor)  in CA (where you must pay $800 yearly plus accounting and other fees $300to $600+ yearly to maintain LLC) Pros for personal name-save on taxes accounting.

@Michelle Hardy Just adding, check your local city too for their requirements, many have specific requirements that the state may not have.Here in VT in the towns my properties are in, there is not a requirement to keep them separate or pay interest. 

I'm thinking if I ask the tenant to pay the other half, I'll probably need to make an amendment to the lease to reflect that.

I was extremely humbled by people and their excuses when it comes to paying rent on time.

Ran the numbers through two different spreadsheets and am very aware of how much we'll pay to the PM.

Explicitly tell them what you're paying for it so you can get the exact number.Also, we do a 25% property tax relief in SC under the ATI bill - so if you fill out that form, you will get a reduction for 5 years.Info below:ATI Real Property Tax ExemptionSouth Carolina law now allows a partial exemption from taxation of up to 25% of an “ATI fair market value” that is the result of anAssessable Transfer of Interest.
