However you do have the opportunity to look at a 1031 exchange which would indefinitely defer all of the tax on that $240K gain.Selling one larger property to use the proceeds to purchase several smaller properties is a classic 1031 strategy called a diversification exchange. 

Some options here - What is the rental strategy - is it leased or vacant?

Some alternatives you could consider are Mid Term Rentals (nurses/insurance stays), Short Term Rentals, or a Rent by the Room strategy.

For example, our thinking was buy $450k property, spend $60-90k in conversion and generate $3500-$4000 in rentals so that there is positive cashflow.Would you recommend any other strategy in Tacoma,Puyallup, Auburn  area for positive cashflow?

There is a vast ocean of overwhelming information here and I think I'd like to start performing the BRRRR method/house hack strategy.

And could you use the BRRRR strategy on this as well?

Luckily the tenant in unit 2 is very interested in a win/win where he buys it as is for a price that works for both of us and will be a first time property owner. 

Va stepped in and the things that I requested for fixing were done and VA actually took $39k of the asking price of the building which was a win for me.

Here is a strategy I've been working on.
