Because it was a rental first you will never get a 100% tax free primary sale, only a prorated one.

I am closing on a multi-family (3-4 units) buy & hold investment in East Boston.Purchase price: $969,000Down Payment/ Closing Costs: $113,000I am in the process of buying my first property, using a 2 for 1 buydown, which is in a non flood zone in East Boston.

The only thing I won't do are repairs that require an actual plumber or electrician.As a landlord here in Binghamton, I know it's hard to find someone to respond to calls or do miscellaneous repairs in a timely manner and without breaking the bank.

For any of the agents out there, I want to hear how you got your first sale as an agent!

Check state law because some states require you give them additional time. 

When the time is right, don't be shy.

My wife (26) and I (27) are wrapping up renovations on our first investment with plans to sell come spring or refinance to hold it as a rental.

Additionally, cultivating a track record of successful projects can help negotiate better terms over time and foster trust with private money lenders.

Keeping receipts and a log of these expenses will help support your deductions during tax time.

If I can't do this the house loses money big time like 800-1200 a month.
