This morning I was reading an article on The Real Deal about a Florida real estate developer (link to article below).

You need to read the IRS Publication 523 that deals with the Sale of a Residence.

I read somewhere about setting up US LLC - but I don't know how quailified the person was - my own understanding is for a Canadian to set up US LLC, we will be exposed to double taxation.

thanks Lucas for the feedback. 

@Devang Patel I tend to think that investors get caught in a feedback loop about what the "right decision is", and this tends to just lead to inaction. 

I would like to hear opinions on cash out refi, keep two rentals, and acquire the third home that i would live in, or sell the one rental to use equity to acquire my next home (which i would live in) and rent out the home im currently living in which will be paid off in 4 years, leaving me with one rental property instead of two.Thanks for reading

I was reading up on what to do with a roommate who refuses to pay their share and one of the steps is to go to the landlord. 

If they say no, document the call.2 - Contact the county and ask the same.3 - Obtain a copy of HOA rules and read it all.I hope that helps, good luck!

No, I have some clients doing it, and I read here about people doing it.

I've read on some threads that this isn't necessary, and others say you do, so I'm really stuck on what to do.
