Yes, you may be able to go high, but if you miss a week, two weeks, or even a month trying to fish for more rent, the cost of vacancy will out-weight getting it filled quickly at the lower, competitive pricing.3a.

.- In this case, when I sell my current home (will be rental in the future) how is calculated the capital gain tax?

It is in a vacation area for outdoor enthusiasts that is gaining more attention.I believe listing with a local agent, I would loose more equity to commission than I would like. 

Good afternoon real estate investor friends.I’ve been using this water submetering system in small multifamily properties to much success and wanted to share.When you can submeter water and pass the costs along to tenants, you increase the net operating income of your asset, which in turn makes your property more valuable.One of the biggest benefits to such a system is gaining greater control over your property.

Excited to gain a bit more focus after reading more in-depth literature.

@Lara WhiteA fellow investor and I compared Indy, Greensboro NC, Greensville SC, and Columbus OH with different metrics and different weights on those metrics.

It’s is sometime better to start earlier just to document for the long term cap gain treatment. 

@Jermaine Martin -  @Victor So mentioned some good options, but if you have lived in the house for the last 2 out of 5 years I'd take advantage of that and pay zero capital gains!

In the meantime, while I'm gaining experience, we are looking to deploy/leverage the capital stored in both of the buildings to purchase additional units.

Live in the property for 2 years (to avoid paying capital gains, if for some reason you have to sell the home within 5 years of owning it) then use the money you have saved to buy your next property and go live in that new property, rinse and repeat.
