If you follow all the rules you will avoid any gain on the property you sold, remain invested in productive real estate, and receive the whatever tax benefits remain in owning a house after any tax reform is completed.This would entail many assumptions and an after tax cash flow analysis but I think the best and worse case scenarios would give you some comfort in making a decision. 

Needless to say, my real estate aspirations changed.I'm planning to shift more of my focus towards real estate in early 2018, when my three partners and I will officially start an acquisitions and holdings business following the BRRRR strategy.

I have seen members mention the following contracts in their subject 2 packet. 

Just simply state that she paid rent, on X date, for X amount, to you, the landlord for X apartment, followed by your contact information.     

I've followed the market from afar and also went home on leave many times over the years, which allowed me to maintain the pulse of the local market. 

What documents or texts do you use as follow up?
