Purchase price: $228,000 Cash invested: $10,000 We closed on this duplex 1 week after getting married. it's on a cute commercial strip in the city with coffee shops, antique stores, and restaurants.

My CPA says it’s best for us to take the standard deduction despite our expenses from rental properties and repairs/Reno greatly exceed the married standard deduction.

There's a corny saying going around the lending community right now, "Date the rate, Marry the house".

Hypothetical question: A married couple, Jim and Maria.

I haven't seen any mention of husband and wife qualified joint venture where 1 schedule E and 2 schedule C's are filed, married filing jointly. 

So your pro-rated percentage of the $500k exclusions (if married filing joint) will be 37.5% ([9x30]/720), or $187,500. 

I grew up in Bucks County and moved into the city in 2015 after getting married.

If your taxable income is in excess of $157,501 if single and $315,000 if married filing joint, then I'd point you to a land conservation easement.

Key here being since it was your primary you're exempted 250k and 500k if married.... so you don't need to 1031!
