Maybe you've spent $16,000 , maybe you've spent $20,000 , it doesn't matter, it's in the past, stop paying money, and start paying attention to this website.To invest in real estate, i don't think there's anything i'd spend money on for education at all.

If I were to rollover 600k into a 1031 exchange (to build mor condos), and take 200k out and use it as a downpayment on a small apartment complex, would iI have to pay capital gains on the 200k since its not a 1031 exchange (not simalar investment)?

If I rent it out longer than 3 years then I have to pay tax on 400k current price capital gains since I bought the house dirt cheap from my grandparents.

Married couples can exclude gains up to $500K on a property they've lived in for two of the last five years.But, as Chops says, it can be a challenge.

Hello everyone, I'm an extreme novice and am here to gain as much information as possible.I'm two years out of college and own a residential painting company (I'm scared of a real job).

As much as I hated spending my summers working on the houses the experience I gained was something you couldn't pay for.I graduated from Virginia Tech in May 2003 and lived at home for the summer while I started my full time career as an IT Consultant.

Am I correct in my understanding that Mobil homes are not considered real-estate so they wouldn't be subject to capital gains?
