If you sell you will need to pay some form of tax and that will greatly reduce your purchasing power. 

I am also having mental stress issues with my husband and before we part ways, we wanted to live separately for some time.

Besides reducing the deposit, maybe have YOUR attorney hold the deposit.

They have a signthat reads "coming soon" (not sure what that means), but I don't see it listed onzillow/redfin yet.It sounds like a goodidea to buy a property side-to-side with the current one--I already know thearea, the neighborhood, I reduce the risk of bad neighbors, etc.

Recently it was brought to my attention that instead of selling an apartment complex as an individual asset, you can sell the LLC which own that asset and avoid or at least significantly reduce what you owe in taxes.

This type of income could be considered self-employment income, in which case moving it to an LLC which pays you a reasonable salary could reduce payroll/SE tax.

I realized that this type of deal carry an extra layer of stress since I was working with family and I want to make sure they got good value but at the end we had a great product, sold for more than originally expected and everyone was happy.

But I wonder why the number of applicants is so low, while we have recently reduced the price to meet the market rate.

After months of stress and obvious doubt, got every last dime back I put into this property.

It was super stressful.
