@Guifre Mora13 loans being consolidated into 6 confirming loans

Why buy small and consolidate with 1031Es down-the-road if I can start bigger to begin with and keep my property count down and unit count up? 

As I ponder the future I’m going to consolidate to an extent (both location and strategy) and work on scaling.I like Phoenix because I’m a bit lazy and comfortable there.

Hi all-
I'm a new investor and live in CA but am interested in selecting a couple of out-of-state markets to build portfolios in. I have been pretty active in connecting with various agents in various markets and hav...

Two part questionFIRSTI own and rent a 2 family home which has a market value of at least 380k (as of 9/2019, actual by HELOC appraisal properly more now).I owe 267K on my FHA loan at 3.5% (original mortgage was for 296k).I have a HELOC balance of 30k which I make monthly interest payments on for $120.I pay about $200 a month in PMI.I'm trying to figure out how I can consolidate my HELOC and current mortgage into a new mortgage and eliminate the interest payments on the HELOC AND PMI knowing I have 80% LTV. 

With KKR taking them private and some consolidation in the industry (Rite Aid), etc. 

2) What if I wanted to consolidate and covert it into a REIT... buying partners out at the same time: What are the upswings and pitfalls? 

And then would I refinance to consolidate both those loans into one loan after the seasoning period?

So would a consolidation exchange where you tried to sell all of them within a compressed time frame so your replacement purchase can close within timelines that meet all the exchanges. 

Time for me to find a chair and consolidate in my backyard.
