In your scenario, selling the relinquished property for $450K after completing a reverse 1031 exchange will allow those proceeds to repay the intermediary without triggering capital gains taxes, provided all exchange requirements are met.

However, for longer-term profitability, flexible loan terms often have a bigger impact, especially with interest rates or repayment structures that align with your goals.

For example, I have repeatedly informed him of my very negative experience with ABC Capital Investments (still going on almost one year with no payments to show for it) and yet he continues to promote ABC Capital Investments in Baltimore and Philadelphia despite fully knowing that many people continue to have very bad experiences with them.

We have 10,000 boomers leaving the workforce each day, and this will continue for years.

I think he was upset because I used him in the past and he may have expected that I would continue with his services. 

So purchasing larger and larger properties allows investors like Benjamin to purchase more depreciable basis while continuing to defer and recapture.  

This will allow the team to develop and review project processes and management strategies to move forward with more challenging, yet rewarding, properties.I come from a very process-oriented background (Mechanical Engineering), and my goal is to learn and develop each step of the process, from start to finish, to continuously improve the team and ROI of each project. 

I will continue to search for off-market deals. 

But Im heavily lacking true mentorship to take me to my intended goal of reaching the financial independence community so I can continue to gain more of my freedom and time with loved ones!
