If you sell a property, and do a 1031 exchange with the proceeds, but don't need all the proceeds for the down payment of the next property, are you taxed on the additional profit that isn't part of the exchange?

What I love about Baselane is that it was built BY real estate investors FOR real estate investors so it's really dialed in to what you're going to need in order to prepare your taxes, keep your books up to date and the more operational aspects of being an REI like tenant vetting and processing rent payments.

With 5% down payments and all the expenses deducted, there seem to have close negative/only around $100 cash flow each month.

Put in your down payment and terms  in the calculator. 

The tenant hasn’t been the greatest: late payment with not always paying late fees, multiple complaints from the neighbors, changing phone numbers, ect .

My price range is between 250 - 350k (less would be better, but if more than I would have to be mindful with the interest or down payment %).

Quote from @John Davey: Id appreciate any help, as ex. if i take out say 100k home equity loan and use 50k each as down payments/cloing costs my understanding is i cant deduct the interest?

With $100K in cash, you could leverage this option to make a larger down payment and keep monthly costs manageable.Maximize Rental Income:Are there ways to increase rents on your current properties?

Did you have an agreement in writing signed by both you and the designer regarding payment schedule and purchases?

Even if it does, there's closing costs to consider.As I said, I have no cash myself, so I'm asking how I can deal with generating cash for closing costs (and a down payment) if it comes to it.The house costs $139000.
