As a Broker, i can attest the market is hot, and prices in some areas are starting to rise, its not stupid yet, but the lending hasn't gotten stupid yet either. my outlook is one of 3 things, we are one "major event" (terrorist attack, war, natural disaster) away from a market shift, so far gas is rising post Houston, and all is silent about the North Korea missile.

As the other poster said if you sell you will most likely have a tax implication unless you do an exchange - which puts you back into the market and with the rising home prices in Las Vegas you are probably not going to be in as good of a position as you are now, if you bought it during the downturn.  

So in your professional opinion, If I take into consideration that if I hired an employee, their salary reduces my net income thus reducing my taxable income, how much does a 15 dollar an hour employee really cost me?

I fail to see the difference, especially considering the rise of Tiny house communities.

I’d love to bring a rise to this question again.

I would appreciate your consideration to manage any properties you may have in Tacoma and the surrounding areas.

This has resulted in skyrocketing land costs and rising assessments.

That is a good area for rentals. 32k seems a little on the higher side but prices are rising. @32k all in it will need to be a really nice rehab too.

I could re-invest that money back into the market after I got cashed out but the fees to sell, the taxes (largely the main issue), and fees to repurchase might've been considerable.

I tried to rise money thru friends and family.
