Nice reminder....I'm not all that :)That 200k profit would get wiped out in closing costs, realtor fees, property taxes, and insurance.

Didn't I just see a proposal that would change STR classification so that they will have to pay 4x in property tax?

While this can be a viable option, it's important to carefully evaluate the potential implications and consult with a financial advisor to assess the impact on your retirement savings.Using your available credit on credit cards could be a temporary solution, but it's crucial to approach this method with caution.

I will be reading up on the link you sent me and also calling the attorney for further consultation.

I'm a property tax professional (reducing taxes for commercial property owners) living in Northern Kentucky.

Stocks are pretty liquid, BUT selling them triggers tax consequences and the timing of when you want the money for real estate purposes might not coincide with the best time to sell the stock.

Hire a tax professional to help set everything up. 

You can do a 1031 exchange and use those funds towards another investment purchase (basically a tax deferment).

Usually in the form of special assessments or ever rising dues/property taxes.

If you ever are in need of consultation for financing on your future deals, I would be more than happy to help.
