My family moves almost every 2 years due to my husband's job, and we're trying to save enough for a down payment on our first home.

I have tried searching on Zillow, but I haven't been able to find any homes with fire damage by using the key word feature. 

We put our home on Zillow/FB Marketplace/Avail about 10 days ago.

Hey @Robert Schwenkler, can you mitigate this kind of issue by improving systems maintenance?

It's all about what you're looking for and if your home qualifies :)  I would recommend reviewing your specific situation, the value of your property, and your risk tolerance to determine the best approach.

This may be more of a question for a lawyer, but from a tax perspective, that's my input.It's also worth looking at the sec. 121 home sale gain exclusion to see if it might be something you qualify for in order to take advantage of the exclusion amount since you mentioned it was a previous primary residence.

If you are willing to spend a bit more, you can find good homes for the BRRRR strategy, they are going to cost you $125-150k, but in better parts of town and more appreciation.

Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

They got into the business to buy homes for themselves.

The nextdoor app tip is something I hadn’t heard before!
