The prices are already down.Schools have zero impact on DC condos. 

But I am still happy because it was progress, and it forced me to take action and it was such a great learning experience!

., could you manually trim the hedge and then put some kind of plastic dividing wall to keep the hedge from encroaching and force it to grow towards the neighbor's yard so you only have to trim it once in a while? 

It's a looong process anyways, so if there are no current plans, you'll likely have a few years to force equity, use it as a rental, enjoy it yourself, etc.

The buyer is forced to buy at a higher proce because he has time working against him in a 1031 exchange.

Selected my primary market(s) and made a "field" trip to the Tampa, FL areas to get to know the sub markets and meet with brokers Began underwriting 5+ properties weekly - originally on my own, but now do this with a few partners With all the force and momentum created with the actions above, it didn't take too long before I made a few connections that "clicked."

Real Estate is an affordable small business with a predictable cashflow and attracted millions of investors.The Biden's tax rate amendments on Capital Gain rate hikes and like kind exchanges not only hit the wealthy, but it also impacts millions of Professionals around the real estate services and significantly dents the volume and economic returns in reality.Appears they forgot the morality learned from the farmer and golden eggs story, not to pull off all the eggs at once, with capital punishment.

A couple of the reasons/concerns I am considering this:-Difficult to go the BRRRR method in the current market and actually find a deal (too many non-Texans, like myself originally paying way over market value on MLS)-I liked the work the builder did on our property, and we would ideally build a base model without much customization, and add forced appreciation in the second home while we live in it over time-I would like to take advantage of the current rates, as well as my VA benefit with the best strategy possible in starting the rental journey-I know our current home would rent and cashflow well (only con/concern is that our upgrades are on the higher end, rather than econo-rental-friendly: porcelain wood-look flooring, granite countertops etc.) 

@Cory LucasIf the city deems that the house is unsafe they can condemn it and basically force you to tear it down.

@Charlie PeabodyIf you just recently purchased your property, it likely won't have an impact on your 2020 tax return.
