Hi investors,I've just found this site and look forward to spending days reading and catching up on the amazing content here, but wanted to intro myself and start networking.I moved to the US (Denver, CO) for work just over 12 months ago and will likely be hear another 6 months at this stage.

The catch-22 with doing this is potentially having a tenant that may decide to ruin the unit. 

Prices here are catching up to where they always should have been for the value this city adds to her residents.

My tenants aren't the brightest so i didn't want to catch them off guard, want them to understand where this is headed.

Start from the end and try and catch up to the beginning.

This is especially important when the capital gain rates might be increased in the near future.The calculation is not something simple, because it involves things like capital gains and depreciation recapture, as long as potentially a reserve of carryforward suspended losses from prior years and/or catch up with unclaimed or underclaimed depreciation.If the tax is significant, you cannot use a 1031 exchange to purchase a residence.

So, your situation maybe a catch-22. 

The one catch is that I had to have the downpayment first, close on the deal, the execute the seller financed 2nd mortgage which would essentially reimburse me.A few things to watch out for, of course make sure the numbers work with essentially 100% financing. 

Heres the catch, in 1.5 years my family and i will transfer back to Charleston, SC and i will leave the Navy.

New construction is also still catching up from the recession years...people thought things were cooling off when interest rates started going up.
