His family owns real estate in town, so I've been learning how to repair fixer-upper properties in order to gain some experience. 

At a minimum, I recommend selling it within three years of renting it so you don't lose the tax free gain on sale of a primary residence.

Hey , thanks for your insight, i also know all those things so i guess my real issue is im afraid the unit wont appeal to people and i either cant get it rented , or the type of people that would accept that type of product would be the type that make me regret this decision.. shrug maybe irrational fear from hearing stories or podcasts. its possible . but thanks again. adding the gate , carport all of those ideas were just for the renter not myself.

I would love to get some insight on what you all think. 

They are almost completely paid off on my HELOC and there is a huge potential to gain alot of capital out of these.

Different levels of risk to everything and different time commitments to really gain traction. 

Is there a way to get some insight of which streets would be considered as D class?

.- does anyone have experience with this type of property (rental that was then flipped and sold in the 18-month-ish time period)- How do we avoid capitol gains? 

Since the program started in 2017, you can’t have held them for 10 years yet, so you can’t sell the properties without a capital gain, although depending on when you bought them, I believe you might get a 10 or 15% stepped -up basis even if you do not hold ten years.

If it is up here, drop a comment and I can more specifically share and give insights.
