Caleb Thurston there is the purchase contract between you and the seller.

I like the idea of selling shares to pay down the mortgage I'd have on it or use it for the next purchase, maybe a 1031. 

ANOTHER pen and paper analysis, Coffee shop millionaires :) I NEVER use a calculator, no need, welI........I stopped readying after the 1 mill purchased and gross of about 80, NOTHING else matters.

Purchasing MHCs in neighboring states that have more business-friendly regulations could prove to be the key.And, of course, who can forget the good old cost-of-living and supply chain crises?

My plan is to only purchase 1-2 properties per year, though, which is probably the main reason why this approach works for me.If you don't trust your realtor, I'd say maybe you should maybe find one that is a better fit?

A little bit about my experience in Real Estate… I started a couple years ago doing some house flips in Detroit ( It was a 2 year plan) then decided to sell everything, moved to Washington DC which can’t afford anything in the DMV area but last year I purchased a very nice 3500 SQFT Duplex in Shaker Heights, suburb of Cleveland. 

That is not an issue.the question is how to coordinate the two sales and one purchase. if it’s too complicated, may just pay the capital gain tax.Quote from @Bill B.: You lost all hope at step 1.

You want your financing, risk reward determined, market identified and your access path.  

My goal is to purchase one or two homes this year to fix and flip.

Ed, The deal fell through on the land we were going to purchase.
