Domicile: WA State (income tax free)Property location (Texas): (income tax free)LT gains + Depreciation recapture ~ $300k on a $500k income property ~effective / average tax rate = 12% for past umpteen yrs (relatively low income, avoiding IRMAA and doing Roth rolls (no 'realized' income, just transferring from tIRA to Roth = vast majority of annual MAGI income)In the end (coming soon, ~17 yrs) ALL remaining estate will go to charities / Charitable Foundation / DAF.

I could get behind you taking on a live in flip because the downside risk is fairly limited (it's a place for you to live if things go sideways, and you can take 2 years to slowly do all the work and reap the tax free gain).The way that you get killed in real estate is by running out of cash and/or being a forced seller.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions about it.
