I live in and invest primarily in Pittsburgh, PA and while a few neighborhoods have appreciated quite a bit in the last few years, housing continues to be be very affordable.

Last week I got a call from ecnomic strategIst Institution explaining about non grantor trust.

My second home, i actually drove by last week and did not see any dogs. 

My last one was a looong time ago but I do remember the crazy insurance cost. 

I'm thinking about purchasing my mother's home as my family consisting of me, my husband and daughter have been living in it and paying the mortgage the last 4 years.

They have been paying cash the last few months and they are really good about paying me but they have been asking my to pay through Cash App or Zelle.

I've been learning a lot from BP over the last month or so.

I'd hate to ruin a longtime friendship over this but things are not looking up and now I'm beginning to feel that if I did it the way I wanted to in the first place, this would've worked out and I would've been in financially ready to get a deal in Orlando by this time.

So the last peak was a dozen years ago, and historically we're due for another.If I were you, I would sell your current home tax free.
