Hi Fishers, I have accepted Walmart offer and my BGV has started 3 weeks ago. How do I check my BGV status? I will be joining in mid May. Also, I have been hiding one of the company where I had worked for 45 days and then absconded due to personal issues. Would it create any trouble? They had created my PF account though. Any help would be highly appreciated

Hold on to it! Rents will rise but your mortgage is set. Each month you bank the principle at a crazy cheap rate.
only catch is my HOA is about 400 and the maintenance costs, mortgage, property tax, makes it almost break even. If HOA goes up and if we get any major repairs, I am afraid I will end up losing. At that point, if I decide to sell I will lose on the tax benefits?
There’s a new phenomenon of “Accidental Landlords” that you fall into with that interest rate.

The advantage of selling now is that the $500k gain is tax free. If you hold more than 3 years, you loose that and when you sell your out $100k in taxes. And I don’t think SF real estate is going to have a good short term future. Tech is dead right now.
This is exactly right, I got married and decided to buy a bigger house and the condo I was living in I rented it out. I sold it last year and now I’m paying capital gains because I held on to it for 6 years
I'm in the exact same situation. Bought new home a couple of months ago and need to sell my old one. My accountant said that the moment you claim your old home as rental you lose the tax break. if you decide to sell in the future any profit becomes taxable or you need to do a 1031 exchange and roll the money in a new investment property to avoid paying taxes.
Thanks for the link MD1. super helpful
I wouldn’t keep a home in the Bay Area for any reason. You also lose the tax benefit and will be taxesd upon sale if you turn it into a rental.
For tax purposes - consider that you can 1031 exchange into a different investment when you want.
My Realtor says, the market is still hot with low inventory and active buyers. She suggests to take the gains and may be later buy a town home if we decide to come back after 8-10 yrs.
Unsurprisingly, the realtor encouraged a sale. They got a point though. The market might get a lot worse.
