Last option an attorney told me today is send some bills over and ‘move in’ for the next years, maybe rent to a friend. 

There has definitely been a price increase in Houston housing over the last couple years.

I self manage and like having full control over the whole thing.

We made the new space over the garage a master suite and we made the old garage a kitchen.

I started using it with just a couple properties and am just over 100 now.

The hurdle you will run into is that a purchase money loan (mortgage, car loan, etc.) is a preferred status under the law and will take priority over other debts and claims against your assets.

I haven’t read over Napier’s book in years, and don’t remember that particular technique being in it.  

Also if I pay capital gains would my tax rate be lower since by the time it sells I will have owned the lot for over a year? 

We had over 15 offers.some at full ask and others where over ask.

I bought a recently renovated home, by the seller (a flipper who over priced the home).
