Frank, I am a realtor who has tried to explain some of these same points. The fact that your hot helps! would definitly shave next time. KL

Frank,I went the rental route because in your video you talked about losing your tax benefits if you ended up renting your (former) primary residence for 3 more years.I do have a new blog, but I haven't addressed this topic yet. I will eventually. You can check it out at www.kcmortgageplanning.com/blog

Hey Kurt,Agreed. There are always further details when it comes to taxes and I always disclose that I am not a tax advisor and you should consult one before making such huge decisions. However, I was talking about the tax benefits of home ownership with the home you live in. You area talking about different tax benefits for ownership of a rental. Those are two separate things.If you have a blog

Frank,I found your blog through the link in a Realty Times article. I have enjoyed what I have read and listened to so far, but I do have a bone of contention on your tax evaluation of owning real estate.In your video you said you lose your tax advantages if you have a rental for more than 3 years after you had owner occupied it in the previous two years. You do lose the capital gains tax

Really well done, Frank. We are planning to move back to the DC area eventually, and it's been scary to think that we'll never be able to afford to do so. You've given me a lot to think about, thanks.:)Charlotte

This was great. I've been having this discussion with a friend of mine that recommended your website and I realized I need to examine my motivation to buy as opposed to rent. Thanks Frank!

Great video. Indeed refreshing to here your advice. This graph has recieved alot of play in the uber, super-bearish realestate "don't buy now" camps saying that -based on the graph - we are in for a massive correction. Do you have any thoughts on this graph? How would someone in the market looking to buy today want to offer any more than a house sold for in say 1999?

Are you a Realtor telling buyers NOT to buy? I've can't say I've seen that before. You must be poor. ;-)
