Correct me if I’m wrong but…If it’s been your primary residence for 2 of the last 5 years, then no capital gains ($250k single or $500k married).

Partnerships undertaken for comfort have the same success as people who marry just anyone because “they don’t want to be alone”.  

But I think you have as many getting married, having kids, escaping certain local governments.

Titled the “More Homes on the Market Act” (H.R. 9015(link is external)), the legislation would double the capital gains exclusion for sales of principal residences from $250,000 to $500,000 for single filers and from $500,000 to $1 million for married couples filing a joint tax return, and also index these amounts for future inflation.

@Jonathan T. you should SELL the primary and take advantage of the $500K (if married) exclusion on capital gains taxes. 

The only person I want to hold onto something forever with is someone I’m married to.

A 40-year old married couple with excellent credit scores and professional jobs are far less risk than a 20-year-old in their first apartment with a dog they just picked up at the shelter. 

Ten years is get married, have two kids, get divorced and pay alimony type of time, haha.

Married 36 yrs, I have 3 adult college educated children and I want to pull a decent monthly pay check, renovate the houses as they become vacant and leave the houses to my 3 children when the good Lord take my wife and I.

Did the 'walkabout' from Adelaide taking a 5 year contract JOB, got married & stayed.
