As a newcomer, I'm here to absorb knowledge, connect with seasoned investors, and explore the diverse strategies available.

I am banking on a promotion in the fall, but without it, I fear I may run out of funds.Question:Given my situation, what strategies would you recommend?

There are 20+ of active CPAs here in Biggerpockets assisting real estate investors nationwide with their tax preparation and strategies.

Are there other strategies I should apply?

Your market should fit your goals and then refine your investment strategy based on what other investors are doing in the area. 

Taking the capital gain tax free is very powerful, if not the most powerful since other strategies can only defer the tax.  

The value comes from the conversations ahead of time that minimize taxes by providing a framework strategy and an evolving pathway that changes with each conversation with your tax strategist and new deal that your investing career contemplates.

Most bank robbers get away with it the 1st time, yet no one comes on bigger pockets & ask’s if it’s a good strategy, even thought it’s quite profitable and you have decent odds of getting away with it, it’s still illegal, immoral and if you do get caught you’d go to jail.

Keep a wide net of strategies until you find one or two that work ... and then deep into those. 

Id assess the situation in a year  with my exit strategy in mind.
