Or is the tax implications of higher valuations cancel the positive effect?

@Mark Bascetta There are a number of competent tax professionals commenting on the forums here.

You must individually own a set percent of the new purchase equal or greater than your selling property in the same tax paying name as when you sold.

I don't know that they have a specific real estate focus, but from my experience they are good with the foreign-earned income or foreign tax credit stuff (as should be most CPAs?). 

Currently, we are leasing the property, generating a net profit of $380 per month and living in Missouri.We are contemplating the decision to sell this property and potentially gain $239-278K payment to buy additional investment properties in Missouri given the rising rental rates in the area, we anticipate increasing our rent and potentially securing a net monthly profit of $780 (annual$9,360).While we acknowledge a monthly profit, our concern stems from the apprehension that the property might not fetch as high a price in the next five years or that our HOA fees and taxes could escalate.Given this situation, what course of action would you recommend?

Can anyone tell me what licenses I need and what taxes I'll need to pay?

Simply reducing the assessment and corresponding taxes reduces expenses and immediately increases the value.

I have done 35 mill worth of deals , own a PM co, have 12 admins, 25 or so contractors, have purchased props from tax lien sales, sheriff auctions, short sales and more, nothing I have not done .

I am still trying to learn the bookkeeping/accounting side of it so that my CPA won't scream at me come tax time!

I'm a new Tax liens, deeds investor in the DC, MD, VA areas.
