You cannot take the $250k gain since you did not make that gain at the point of sale.

As-is" does not have any clear specific meaning (in fact, if you look at Paragraph 16 of the standard NJ contract you will see every sale with a Realtor is listed as that).

After ten years compounding at 5% that amount would be worth $1,348,602, which would really be $1,256,344 after accounting for LTCG @ 15% (1,348,602-733,500 * .15).Final amount for condo conversion: $1,256,344Pros: After money is reinvested, passive incomeCons: Taxed twice, once on sale, once when investments are sold, no real control over money once investedScenario 2: 10 year holdI pasted my numbers at the bottom of this post so it's easier to see, but my thought process was as follows:1) Calculate value based on reasonable appreciation trends, plus cash flow.

My wife and I are tossing around the idea of selling our current home and buying a duplex, moving into the vacant side so we can purchase with less money down and begin our investment journey.

The after-repair value (ARV) of the property is estimated at $260K, which could net a profit of $15-17K after selling expenses.At the sale price of 260K, the property meets the one percent rule and features a brick exterior, new roof, 2 new bathrooms, and 1 new kitchen. 

Do you know the best way to find properties that are for sale by owners?

They did try to sale and sounds very knowloge when the sales person talked to me .

If you pay cash, that money could be stuck there for years until you sale but you will have some costs of property tax, brush clearing and insurance.2.
