Cash-out refinance (VA to Conventional) or 1031 exchange?
Hello Team, I have a 4Bed/2.5Bath SFR in Central Texas with a tenant leased til OCT 2022 and a property manager agreement til 2023. It is not cash flowing but I am breaking even because the property taxes are killing me (I guess I'm building equity/appreciation). There's 275k mortgage left (VA loan) and the comps are selling around 400k-420k and Redfin/Zillow estimate it as 390k. I have two questions: Can I sell the property via 1031 Exchange with a leased tenant and property manger? Or should I cash out refinance into a conventional loan and use the equity/VA Entitlement to purchase another property?
My gut is telling me to sell since I don’t see myself investing into Texas anytime soon. I’m currently stationed near Ft Lauderdale but I’m originally from Arizona and would like to purchase a multi family there. Thoughts? I’m a rookie as you can tell. Thanks a bunch!
