Your primary residence - if you've lived in it for 2 out of the 5 years prior to selling you'll get the $250K/$500K tax free iike @Clint Galliano said. 

My wife and I use to live in central GA and in North Carolina but moved out to Arizona a couple years ago.

I invest in about a 50 mile radius from where I live.

We were there looking for another property that we could buy together on the beach that we could rent out as a short-term vacation rental.We we're living it up and having a fantastic time zip lining, eating delicious food, and seeing the monkeys in the wild.it seems like from the moment I returned from that trip in August 2022 the real estate market completely changed.

Working horrible job, living horrible, no golden streets of opportunity found.

From my experience working with over 400 investors, consider alternative strategies like rent-by-the-room, buying an SFH with an ADU, or renting where you live while investing elsewhere.

We live up in Shasta lake.

Especially if you built something to rent or live in. 

I live here in Albuquerque and have been investing here for the past 15 years.
