The 1031 exchange rule to defer your tax is two part 1) reinvest all your proceeds and 2) purchase a property (or properties / DSTs/TICs) with an equal or greater market value.  

Keep in mind with a 1031 exchange, it's important to ensure that the total value of the replacement property is equal to or greater than the property you sold.

So, everyone using those platforms is jumping on the same leads AND at the same time which means there  users are all equally behind anyone WHO GOES TO THE RELEVANT COUNTY AND COLLECTS IT there own data or can find someone who can get it for them.

If my stories scare them (and they often do), they should NOT be investing in Detroit.But I'm equally tired of the narrative that these sorts of houses don't work as cash flowing investments.

Interest rates between a HEL and a refi are comparable, the equity in the property is equal to the value of the property and I only need about 50% to purchase another property.

Time equals money, etc etc. 

Down Payment: 20% of the purchase price, equal to $43,0003.

I may be able to replace Repuso for reviews so it may net out as equal dollars spent and solves for my number one complaint which is syncing pricing across all platforms (with added rules).  

Not all lenders are created equal. 

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.
