Hello,

Just a note on Real a Estate in U.S., when you sell a home that is your primary resident, your home, where you live, you do not have to buy another home in two years. You can take your proceeds, individual $250k & couple $500k without purchasing another property in two years & without paying any taxes. The old law was you had to purchase a property within two years. This was changed probably about 20 years ago. This rule doesn't apply to investment property. Investment property tax gain is 15%. You can defer the tax by rolling it over into another property by doing a 1031 tax deferred exchange, where you don't receive any money/cash. If you take any money from the sale whatever you take would be consider boot & will be taxed. Hope this explains the U.S. Real estate tax rules a little!
