After 5 properties, I'm about to jump into direct to seller marketing and trying to pick up deal flow that way.

A HH/STR can be powerful in the right market.

Refinanced in 2017 roughly to drop PMI, lower interest rate and add my then wife to the mortgage.Selling for 287k in August of 2024I know that I won't have to pay capital gains tax on the profits- my question is the profit from the sale still treated like income and taxed accordingly?

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

Working on the wholesale team of a large homebuilder taught me that capital is available if the deal pencils. 

Tell me a saving account that cand do that for you.Boss do more research in company credit fund-capital or Heloc vs Loan math. 

Hi all,Just starting out and I’m interested in market trends for the Dallas area.  

@Yejin Mun, I would say it depends on your market. 1.

Every time it was handled differently  LOLIt should still be up to 25% (it could be less if your marginal bracket was less, but its not in your OP).Incidentally, you can offset the depreciation recapture with capital losses.  

The market will drive commissions.
