From structured breakout networking sessions to quick business card exchanges in the hall ways of the hotel, it seemed every corner you looked there was a business plan or partnership forming right in front of you creating a sense of urgency to join the crowd! 

If they pay out my equity at lease signing, can I 1031 exchange those funds into a new property even though I technically still own the building and will for a while?

In addition, the city of San Diego has very unfriendly to LL tenant laws.  

Since I am familiar with stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) already, I thought why not give it a shot and see what is in for me in this industry?

You are better off exchanging into an SFR, multifamily or DST investment depending on how much you have to invest. 

What I see is there are many people from abroad who just want to park money here vs their home country due to inflation or some other reason who are willing to take minimal returns in exchange for principal safety. 

Can a HYSA work the same as doing 1032 Exchange?

How can I help you achieve your goals in exchange for you helping me?)

They might have been less interested in exchanging their 8% home mortgage to a new one at 4%, but these days they may be much more interested in exchanging the 3% or sub 3% to one that is 7% and maybe earning another origination and underwriting fee.

I also plan to either keep it and have the next owner rent from us or do a 1031 exchange, so time will tell!
