I sold my principal residence at a a near double in price. I moved into my second home and it is now my principal residence. The proceeds are in T-Bills now, waiting for the cycle to proceed. When the time is right I want land this time and I’m already watching my target area. This is the second time in 15 years I’ve done this, it works great since there is no tax liability.
Good strategy—I will be very surprised if the stock and real estate markets do not have epic crashes in the next few years.
All the “experts” would say I am a fool for just collecting my 5% interest and sleeping well at night.
