I currently own a small single family house outright in PA . I’m looking to sell this and purchase a multi-unit ( up to 4 units ) in Florida . I will be living in one of the units . I’ll be working with approximately $100k . I’m looking at properties in the range of $200-300k. I would like to only put 20% down and save the rest of the money , possibly to use later for another investment property.
1-How long do I have to wait to acquire another mortgage on another multi - unit?
2-Do I Have to spend all my $100K to avoId paying capital gains tax?
3- should I put more $ down on the multi-unit to avoid paying more taxes on my gains ?
4-If I was to open an LLC to manage the property could I use a portion of the profits from the single family for the business.
5- I’m new to this and I’m trying to find the smartest way to move this money and pay the least amount of taxes but also maximize my profits .

@Raymond J. Rodrigues I’ll have a new position but in the same field . As far as pay is concerned, I get paid weekly now . The new position will be either weekly or bi-weekly depending on what company I go with .

I plan on moving to Florida in a few months. I will be selling a house I own outright In PA. I plan on buying a multi-unit ( up to 4 units) in FL. I will be switching careers also . How hard will it be for me to acquire financing for my new investment property? I can come up with at least 20% as a down payment and possibly plan on living in one of the units .
