i'd check into tax ramifications. i thought you'd be taxed if not rolled into new house within a period of time, but i'm not accountant

helpful response dick.

whether taxable or not depends on how long you lived there per a quick google. like i said, check in to tax ramifications op.

It actually has more to do with how much you make on it and if it's your primary home or not.

Nope.
If it's your primary home and you've lived there at least 2 of the previous t5 years, and your profit is $250,000 or less ($500,000 for married filing jointly), then the profit is tax free. Note, not vacation home or second home.

Dunno why people feel compelled to reply to things about which they're uncertain. Google is yo friend.

There is also a pro rata rule if you sell before two years in case anyone cares.

Source: I had to cite it during an IRS dispute on my home sale. I won.

It’s was my primary residence, I purchased the house in December 2011, I am getting married and living with my fiancé in her house. So I don’t plan on purchasing another house

So your profits are tax free. Invest as you choose.

InB4 Hookers and Blow. Can't believe it made it this far even on the Money board for that comment.

I'd start out maxing your Roth for 2018 and 2019, that's $11,000. Then go from there.

nobody had responded, so i told the guy to consider the potential tax consequences. not sure how that makes me a dick, dick. as the thread hashed out, there are some particularities to keeping the gain tax free.

not if its a double. if its a double, the profits on the side he lived in is tax free. Taxes are owed on the profits from the rental portion.

I would dump it in a Vanguard mutual fund. I have mine in VUIAX, but I think that is a 100k min. You can browse their offerings.
