I'd say, roughly $350k, mostly tax free, counting the profits from all my residences. I also sold a condo in Austin, Texas for three times IT'S mortgage value (also bought during a local slump for next to nothing). Just taking advantage of what I see. As everyone on this thread has (except for McMannis). Read the thread title!

But, those days are well behind us. We're all looking for the next thing.

To me, currently, it looks like becoming a landlord. I can buy and rent local properties for well above their PITI. It so hard for people to get loans, many are forced to rent, here locally. Local rentals rarely last a day.
