How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

You were smart to not go any higher, you had a number that you were good with.I suggest you continue to attend auctions, make sure you do your research first, try to talk to the owner or lender, find out what they need. 

It's more about finding a property that works, than finding an area where everything does.

Any other resources or ideas on finding investors for something like this would be appreciated.

@Paul NovakI recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, tax planning and financial planning.

My journey in real estate has been driven by a passion for helping people achieve their property goals, whether it's finding the perfect home, making profitable investments, or connecting buyers and sellers for mutual success.I'm eager to network with fellow professionals who share the same enthusiasm for real estate and dedication to making a positive impact.

I’m happy to assist you and your wife find a place and securing financing.

Keep in mind the more difficult it is to find this info the better!

I understand that the Section 121 Exclusion for Primary Residence allows you to sell your Primary residence and not have to pay ANY capital gains taxes on the gains/proceeds - as long as you use those funds to purchase your next Primary residence.What I cannot seem to find the answer to is - what is the maximum timeline allowed from Sale of the first Primary to Purchase of the replacement Primary residence?
