crazy how much values have gone up in just 5 years that's an amazing price you should check how much equity you have now and repost the info I'm sure others would appreciate it. 

My post isn't meant to argue your idea, but more to contribute additional thoughts to the discussion.Thanks for the response and the discussion.

The argument is for an additional $35k you would gain an additional $20k on sale.

Anyone who doesn't follow directions - asks me to call them, doesn't provide specific answers - estimate, experience, any additional materials they need me to purchase, I weed them out.  

I hadn't considered that they may be rolling in those additional items into the percentage. 

House hacking allows me to buy a higher valued home.So, if real estate appreciates 5% per year, then a $500,000 property will have $138,000 in additional value after 5 years.

Highly recommend getting additional inspections (termite/mold/foundation/roof) if needed to assess the condition. 

High income earners may be subject to an additional 3.8% tax called the net investment income tax on both short-and-long term capital gains.So, yes, if your only objective to avoid capital gain and pocket the profit (not to do 1031 exchange or QOZfund), then stretching it to 2 years is your best option.

.: @Joe Pirapakaranlenders have a maximum LTV they can give you, and almost no one does 80% right now - it's 70-75%the higher the loan amount, the higher the monthly paymentthe lender doesn't care how much you owe - you could owe $20K or $200K - if they do 70% LTV, you'll get $140K Hi NickThank you for the info !
