The ABC’s of 1031 exchanges into Multifamily Syndications – it’s all here including the ins and outs of exchanging into both Value-Add and New Construction Projects. Anna Myers has not only completed seven 1031’s with her own portfolio, she has also completed her own 1031 exchange into one of our syndications.

Having been in the REI trenches, she has learned the power of taking underperforming single family rentals with underwhelming return on equity (ROE) into new, highly scalable, yet passive investments by exchanging into multifamily syndications.

But the story you probably have not heard is how multifamily investors are turning 7 caps into 10 caps, and achieving 25% to 100%+ rent per month while always keeping the property in showable, sellable condition and maintaining full flexibility to raise the rent at any moment.

Join Ken G. Barton, Founder & CEO of Hoasty.co, in a conversation with MultiFamilyU’s Neal Bawa on the future of Vacation Rentals and how it will impact MultiFamily investors.

  • Discussion on regulation, where to focus for Vacation.
  • Rental opportunities, and how companies like Airbnb are actively fighting to stop regulation risk.
  • Why MultiFamily real estate is uniquely positioned to be successful in leveraging vacation rentals to provide outsized NOI returns in the next 10 years.
