How do I classify my second purchase

Current situation - California.

With estimated numbers.

Let’s say my primary residence is worth 1m. And the mortgage was paid off last week.

I want to buy a property let’s say 500k to an area 45 miles by car away without doing anything to the first property. I plan to sell it next year and claim the 250k home sale exclusion. (Reaches 2 years in June next year)

How do I classify the second purchase to the bank/underwriting ? Do they report to the IRS where my primary residence is ?

My work is closer to the primary home. (Now remote until next year)

Since it is 45 miles away, what reason can i use if I want to buy that as a second home ?

Let’s say according to google maps, there are different ways to get there. 45 miles and 65 miles (through hills) is that ok if they ever mention the less than 50 miles ?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

How to get started?

Hi! I’m 23F and I just graduated college with an english degree (😅) but i’ve been working in nonprofits since I was 16 and lucked into an amazing first job with an one of the biggest and best real estate non-profits! I love my job so far, but it’s my first time being surrounded by such wealth (and very hard working, deserving individuals.) To be quite honest, I‘ve had a rough few years juggling multiple jobs to finish school, and the idea of myself not living paycheck to paycheck seems light years away. This is all being said, I guess I’m posing the question towards the group of what I can do now to start building that kind of future for myself. I find real estate very interesting, and i’ve loved learning about all the machinations behind development- I’m just not sure where to begin within the industry (investment/rentals are definitely not an option for me yet). I’m also looking to go back to school, but being that I don’t know where to start, I wouldn’t like to begin classes aga...
