I require at least 30 days stay, which helps get around paying city taxes on it.

Hell, what's my CPA if not a "tax coach" and mentor, right?

If not you buy your First Home for all the advantages and Homestead it for 2 out of 5 years to Sell Tax-free up to $250,000 profit.

Hello- Can someone please tell me if I will have to pay any type of federal capital gains tax on a property that I sell in Washington state that was given to me? 

For simple math, if I purchased a $100k property with 20% down and was able to get rent to cover the mortgage, interest, taxes, maintenance and property management (essentially zero cash flow)... held for 30yrs with no appreciation... then wouldn't I essentially hold $100k equity in the property in 30yrs on an initial investment of $20k?

But licensing,zoning,insuring, owning and operating one are a different story.This is what my initial plan is (This is all in theory) To enter a new buyer program to purchase our first home using both of our tax return dollars.

For example, I have another property with 315k balance left, 3.375% interest rate and the total monthly for it is $2030 (includes escrow + taxes). 

You then supply the owner with an annual statement of income & expenses, so their tax professional can prepare tax return.

I'm new here and looking to get started in tax lien investing.

Does anyone remember the name of the App David Greene uses to easily access the taxes, homeowner's insurance premium, HOA fees and other expenses associated with his rentals?
