I really don't see much improvement from swapping out a old one to a new..

You can also try homeexchange.com if you wish to swap homes with others.

I'd love to chat and swap thoughts on the market there.

I've been able to find parking there on Saturdays despite the fact that the school holds a swap meet adjacent to the structure. 

Would you be open to sell, swap or 1031 tax free exchange it for other assets that perform according to you expectations?
