Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Through this trust, a Mexican bank holds the title to the property on your behalf, while you retain all ownership rights.

Quote from @David B Graham: Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Once you have completed the consolidation portion of your 1031 exchange you now own a more expensive (and probably really nice) property that it must be your intent to hold for investment use. 

Dave Ramsey probably wouldn’t approve, but it’s how I was able to scale up to 29 buy n hold SFR.

DC properties are expensive, but they probably do not hold a candle to the crazy prices in Boston. 

We make people take photos of themselves holding their ID and then I also meet them in person for the showing - at least for my units on the NW side of Chicago.I've never heard of these testers, but I am not surprised. 

The bank will make you leave 25% equity in the property - but you also still want the property to at least cash flow some - so be careful how much equity you pull out / new debt you take on.I would do a cost benefit analysis of what your actual gain is in cash-flow on buying a new property with a (currently) higher interest rate (if financing), versus just holding on to the current appreciated property and enjoying that cash flow.All the best!

The cash flow would be nice, but are you planning to hold for a long term or refinance before the balloon or sell?
