Question 2- could I split the sale over two years to help?

I normally will use hard money lenders when doing the brrrr method, but i am trying to explore all options to help with purchasing power.

Hello BP Community,We’re under contract to sell our primary home in Indiana, and I could really use some advice on tax strategies—specifically, a Deferred Sales Trust (DST).Here are the key details:Purchased in 2010 for $499KUnder contract to sell for $2.499M (closing scheduled for December 2, 2025)Current mortgage balance: $94KThis leaves us facing a sizable potential tax burden.From my research, a Deferred Sales Trust seems like the only option to mitigate the tax hit.

I'd look to work with a cpa to see what your basis in the property is including capital improvements and then put together an estimated sales price.

I haven't participated in foreclosure sales but my understanding is that the same issues with occupants apply.

I'm looking at properties coming up for sheriff sale that are tax lien foreclosure some questions I have are, Where do I look to make sure that is the only lien on the property or after buying it over the tax lien bid would the rest of liens or mortgage on the property get put on the past owner?

‘WOW…. sometimes I have trouble getting 10% down payment on a sale! 

I am still looking into the sales representative as a viable option for a root to raise money as I get the business started.

NET as in after all costs of sale.
