Hi Daniel, I know this is a late rely but sorry to hear about the divorce. Yes you want to be aware that if you've owned a rental property for a significant period of time, when you sell, investors can potentially end up paying somewhere between 30-40% in taxes. I help investors everyday defer those taxes and reinvest the proceeds. Check out my blog if you get a chance.

@Debbie Palmer  It appears you are on the right track for your 1031 exchange. Inventory being such a problem you may want to consider having a back up plan if you are unable to find a replacement property within the 45 day identification period. There are different real estate investments available to accredited investors that could be a good option for a back up. They provide you with hard real estate, but can also give you some diversification. Something else to possibly consider, happy to answer any questions. 

 Hi Russell, 

There plenty of other opportunities elsewhere, my clients are involved in institutional grade properties across the country. My recommendation is to choose cities in safe and economically diversified areas with above-average income and population growth. It can also be safer to diversify your investment properties across the country. There is still good money to be made in AZ, FL, GA, TX and other states, however, picking the right submarkets is key.

Hi Alex, we have investors making straight cash investments into funds, which are portfolios of properties. This might be something for you to look further into based on the goals you’ve shared.
