@Clinton Springer , Since you have lived in the property for two out of the previous five years as your primary residence, you could take the first $250k ($500k if married) of the gain tax-free.

We've been live for a few months and its doing far better than we expected.We recently had the opportunity to purchase the five acres next to our current lot, and are now looking to build again, but need funding.

Here’s what I’ve seen work in markets like Boston, Worcester, Lowell, Manchester, Portsmouth, and Portland: Cash flowIf you buy a single family with four or five bedrooms or a two family where each side has three or four bedrooms, renting by the room can turn an average deal into something that actually moves the needle.

The goal could be a duplex, but preferably a unit with three or four units to reduce the mortgage payment.

Three of the mortgage loan rates were 4.25%, 4.25% & 4.75%. 

Or if anyone has any other strategies besides those three, I’d love to hear them as well.Thanks in advance for any advice, tips, or lessons learned!

Walk three properties weekly, analyze five daily with conservative ARV and rehab, and make offers with inspection and financing outs.

If you're using primarily cash flow from the property, or doubling money in less than five years if rewarding investors out of a cash out refinance from a property with lots of upside. anywhere between those two goal post can also work for example of 4% preferred return and a 1.5 X multiple at year three could be appropriate if that's what your deal is tailored to. hope this helps

She again this year asked if I wanted to purchase in five years.

Doing work on five primary homes and having an impressive electrical background is great, but it doesn’t mean you know how to flip a house.
