Bill- how long have you been married?

They weren't trashed, just abused and not cleaned.Luckily, I haven't had any in years, none has passed my background checks.Unrelated young couples have been my next highest failure group, not married, this group has had a good number of lease breaks and one eviction for non-payment.

You are right in that you can only have 10 mortgages, but your spouse (assuming you're married) can have 10 as well.

If I do finance, I could either be fine once it's moved to X zone, or I'm married to the $1800/month policy until the end of the mortgage.

Hi Karen, You can sell within the next year and take advantage of both tax breaks:  the 250k (500k if you're married filing joint) gain exclusion along with the tax deferral provisions of 1031.
