That immediate tax savings in the new property is better than the infinite tax deferral of the 1031 exchange.Some questions:1) why use an irrevocable trust?

Note with over 3 months of vacancy, a professional that placed a tenant in one month would have saved you money.  

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).

2019 Goals: My last year in College- $10K in savings (Not Accomplished)- All A's (Not Accomplished)- Church every Sunday (Not Accomplished)- Read Bible every morning (Not Accomplished)- Read 20 minutes every day (Accomplished)- Go to Chilis 11 times only (Accomplished.

yup the numbers dont work.. you cant get 6% private money unless its a relative thats not market or close to real..

Then I save that amount each month in reserves until I need them.

Actually the IRS does not tell us what we can invest in, only what is disallowed (life insurance contracts and collectibles).Allowable investments for SDIRA investing include the following:Residential real estate, including: apartments, single family homes, and duplexesCommercial real estate Undeveloped or raw landREITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts)Real estate notes (mortgages and deeds of trusts)Promissory notes Private limited partnerships, limited liability companies, and C corporationsTax lien certificatesOil and gas investmentsPrivate stock offerings, private placementsJudgments/structured settlementsGold bullion Factoring investments

This gives you time to save or secure financing while locking in the opportunity to buy.Deferred Payments for Belongings: If the belongings on the property are a sticking point, you could offer to assist with clearing or storing them as part of the deal.

@Steven HsuBigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

My goal is to acquire and stabilize these larger properties using private lending to fund down payments and renovations while executing a BRRR strategy.I’d love to connect with private lenders or experienced investors who’ve used private capital for similar deals.
