You want a crappy enough truck you can actually use it.Then I have a nice sedan for DD duty that is comfortable, safe, and good fuel economy.Works out wonderfully, and its cheaper to have both than 1 nice truck.My issue is my Subaru wagon is really causing issues and costing a lot to keep running.

Wow - That's a mouthful and a lot to wrap your brain around so having a good QI to guide you through is essential (as well as a statutory requirement).Most folks will go into a 1031 like yours aggressively seeking replacements.

But if $50 to $75/mo means a lot to a tenant and they are willing to take the trash out and it works with your cashflow numbers it will avoid those pesky fines and turnover/vacancy which is probably much more costlyI found this one from this string helpful https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/145..."

Not a lot to go on.

@Ryan Randels welcome, sounds like you have a lot to offer.

In SF there is a lot to consider given schools, proximity to grocery stores, ease of parking, safety to walk alone at most hours of the day, proximity to restaurants etc.

There is a lot to be gained in this township and it requires good analytics of where you spend your money.
