I have a townhome in LA that a family member is vacating soon. Ive owned it for 7 years and have healthy equity in it. I also have an investment property in Maryland so being a landlord isn't new. I don't want to fix up the LA property and maintain it with tenants especially as it's subject to a lot of HOA rules. Im looking at doing a 1031 exchange and purchasing a couple of row homes or even a multi unit back in MD.

Looking for some thoughts from the community as this will be my first exchange and I'm trying not to misstep just because Im eager to get out of the LA property to avoid renting it. 

Anything to be concerned about? Silly to not keep property in the LA market? Back of the napkin math, I think I'd cash flow more getting into new Maryland property than keeping this...at least in the short term. 

HI - Looking for recommendations for attorney in the area. Emphasis on seller financing/lease to own and/or mobile homes a plus. 

There have been some older posts but updates suggestions very much appreciated. Thanks

I’m targeting my first property with a current tenant who seems to be a “good one.” Rent is below market. Consulting with potential PMs but any advice on getting in and immediately raising the rent even though I’m very open to them staying?
