I hear that our county values can be deflated in some areas and inflated in others.

Since this means the solo401k would be closed would the IRS only tax me for the 10% still remaining upon distribution?

The two remaining tenants are asking to renew their lease for another two years.

Can someone tell me when I do the "R" for "refinancing"in BRRRR, do I have to still remain employed with a W2's job qualify?

 $29k down payment and then you can use the remaining $35k to rehab it.  

You plug in a sale amount by year and quarter snd it will give you a current valuation based on their data...inflation/appreciation on same property repeat sales using conforming loans.

There are a few macroeconomic factors which could spell some trouble in the far future for Austin, but as long as building new housing stock remains difficult and there is at least a small amount of net positive migration to the area, housing prices will continue to appreciate (barring any other extenuating circumstances that are well beyond the scope of this post).

So, I thought of selling the property and remaining the property manager.

But he is correct in his statement.I can guarantee you that any non-accountant using some cheap computer program for  taxes is losing more money than it cost them and more than if they had paid a good, qualified accountant over time, you should be saving more than you pay, but your income needs to be sufficient as well.A basic economic principle, the "marginal propensity of consumption" it basically says at some point the value of anything becomes less as consumption increases, that applies to your time as well, thinking in reverse, that means the cost of you doing something increases when you do everything yourself as the value of the benefit remains the same.

So, pay no more than $180K.In two years hopefully the market has appreciated or at least followed inflation and now those $250K houses are worth $275K and you are easily able to sell for $275K since your place is nice and updated.
