A 1031 Exchange is also known as the Tax- Deferred Exchange, which allows the different shareholders as well as different depositors to reinvest the profits that these people had acquired as well as earned, most particularly when it comes from the different financial transactions of the property that the investor had advanced without acquiring different taxes from the government.

Hi Shawn-Congratulations on starting out on your real estate investing career.You have a question about whether it is good to have your real estate license or not as an investor and you are leaning toward multifamily investing.I personally think having your real estate license is helpful as an investor.Having your real estate license allows you to work with other investors to help them build their portfolios which helps expand your network while being productive, you can research market value more effectively, find out about deals before they are listed, and of course it allows you to collect the commission on purchasing any listed property.To Your Success!
