My duplex - built 1989, 2,060 sf, 2 bed/bath, 1 year old roof, value if I subdivide (county already approved) and sell each separately $150k each ($300k total)Investor duplex - built 1995, 2,300 sf, 2 bed/bath, 5 year old roof, value around $310kThe investors initial request was for an equal trade and they would pay realtor fees, which I replied wouldn't be equal due to buying/selling costs (recording fees, title insurance, closing fee, survey, inspections, loan fees, 1031 fees, accountant fees, repairs), taxes would increase due to new sale price, I'd trade a 3.75% mortgage for a higher one, and I'm on the 10th year of a 30 year loan so resetting that to a new loan would restart amortization and pay more towards interest.

You can probably just go ahead and live in that 5th unit, but I believe whenever you go to refinance it with a bank or what not, the 5th unit will make it require a commercial loan and not residential regardless of what the county records show the property to be. 

And we've got a mall that hd a huge Macy's or maybe it was saks 5th ave I can't remember, regardless they through a huge volleyball facility in the space and that has really been driving the mall, its actually really cool, they left a huge window into the rest of the mall so people can see in walking buy...very well thought out.

An Excel file or other detailed record-keeping system would okay, as long as it accurately tracks your hours spent on real estate activities.

Keep detailed records of repairs, improvements, and rental income, and consider working with a CPA specializing in real estate to ensure you're taking full advantage of deductions and strategies like passive losses, home office deductions, or even the Qualified Business Income deduction if applicable.Good luck!

That confirmed. :) Yeah, definitely a recording.
