Is there an option to prorate the capital gains?  

What are my options?

Your exit strategies could vary from doing a lease option, selling sub-2 and still maybe getting your equity paid over time or cash out and 1031 into a property closer to where you are going..maybe buy a multi family and hosue hack it...Let me know if you'd like to discuss further, Best of Luck!

Owner occupied might be the best option for you.I wish you all the best.

Hi BP,I've applied for the new 5% down multifamily primary residence loan option for a 3-unit property, but keep getting denied at the Automated Underwriting System (AUS) stage. 

If you're concerned about the tax implications, definitely talk to an accountant well versed in real estate to go over your options.

Or - looking into different areas in the US to invest in would be another option as Bozeman is a tricky market. 

We have many beach condominium options in Orange Beach/Gulf Shores that qualify as a second home investment with programs with as low as 10% down, so you don't always have to come up with the larger down payment, but some buyers choose to go with a higher down payment to get a better rate. 

You get access to 80% of your cash back to move to the next purchase.The other option is use a small portion of funds 15% to purchase any SFR or 2-4 units through an investment purchase typically Bank portfolio.

Looking for the best software option to manage tenant screening, invoicing, accepting payments, etc.
