It is helping others invest or find a home. 

So, it’s important to focus on strategic improvements that offer the highest return.

My journey in real estate has been driven by a passion for helping people achieve their property goals, whether it's finding the perfect home, making profitable investments, or connecting buyers and sellers for mutual success.I'm eager to network with fellow professionals who share the same enthusiasm for real estate and dedication to making a positive impact.

Sabbatical homes dot com is another good one, catered towards professors on sabbatical, usually looking for 3-6 month stays.

I do have a few single-family homes rented out.

Hello @Takahito Torimoto, You will be happy to know that section 121 exclusion does not have a time limit or any requirements to redeploy the funds into another primary home.

So that will have more first time buyers looking for years and have to keep renting because they can't afford the higher priced homes they want with current interest rates.

We were able to get the home under contract well below asking price. 

.- thanks ...try reaching out to the local small to mid size  credit unions and banks in NJ ...contact the bank you  have your checking / savings with ...contact the lender that services your 1st mortgage for options .....regarding deprication - are you asking about the depriciation on the  primary home ( subject property ) being added in or  for the depriation from another property ?
