For real property, a business casualty loss or involuntary conversion gain is calculated separately for each identifiable piece of property [Reg. 1.165-7(b)(2)].

I would only be able to avoid 2/5 of the capital gains, due to the fact that I lived there only 2 years (qualified used), but the other 3/5 of the gains would be taxable because I didn't live there, it was a rental for 3 years (unqualified use). 

one thing that no one has mentioned yet is that FEMA is changing the way flood zones and rates are calculated. 

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

Still, at that rate, I'd lay out some of your calculations to the seller and say you're really looking to get closer to the 1% rule.

I AM asking for help from some individual in looking through the specifics of this deal, or someone who can point me toward a calculator of some sort that combines the househacking/STR combo that I am considering with this deal.*** I have been browsing these forums and binge-watching YouTube and BP Podcasts for the last ~4-6 weeks and my wife and I are both on board to try our hand at real estate investing.I believe I have found a deal that works for us, but would love the opportunity to talk through it with someone who knows what they are talking about before pulling the trigger, because it seems like it is a bit outside nearly all of the examples I have seen other people describe as their first deals.The property has a house on two and a half acres that also comes with three rental cabins (they are currently being used as short term rental units).

I am now looking at multiple MFs but the moment I add my forecast of tax increase (new market value, new assessed value and increased tax calculated from the county calculator), the deal becomes worthless or is at least not in the range I am looking at.

I am new to investing, so generally when I am calculating single family homes I include 5% for repair and 5% for capital expenditures, amongst the other expenses.

If I was to make an offer and I have researched the comparable home values, do I offer the amount then that makes sense to me according to the calculations i.e. have around 8% COCR?
