Quote from @Eric Huntermark: Additionally, as I'm thinking about conventional loan products as well.

My strategy incorporates asset protection measures like LLCs, specific trusts as well as professional property management to spread risk and ensure quality operations.As well as using tax codes to my benfiitSection 179, IRC Section 162, Cost Segregation and Bonus Depreciation and later 1031 them out for larger projects. 

Any areas in Sacramento that worked particularly well (or didn’t)?

I will findout more information about all the great questions you posted :) Thank you.No inspections is all well and good, but that’s not the real issue.

I know a lot of investors have done very well in Peirce County but I just haven't learned or know enough about that market to make an investment there.Washington state properties are expensive and can be difficult to make breakeven let alone cash flow at this moment due to the combination of high prices and interest rates. 

But ya have to make some educated prognostications in life.Add this to the information your processing - What your talking about doing is eliminating around $4000 or interest expense (which is deductible anyway so really could be a real impact of eliminating $2800 or so) of debt in exchange for paying over $10K in capital gains tax (don't forget possible state gains tax as well).

You’ll want to make sure your cpa is well versed in short term rentals. 

If I were you I'd send a quick message to your current lender as well.

Take advantage of LSU's resources as well.
