I suggest finding an online bank that gives high interest rates.

I am not suggesting that you cannot diversify however are you looking for cash flow or is buying now, holding for appreciation and or forcing appreciation is your play.Good luck on your journey!

Since this is happening at the end of their lease, is it a probably that I’m notifying them less than 30 days that I won’t be renewing the lease and that I’m suggesting them to find somewhere else to live?

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

I was suggesting that if you wanted to do a 1031 of a property held in a LLC, they would be forced to also do the 1031 exchange.

I’ve just heard horror stories from landlords and I’m looking for suggestions on how to best vet tenants - Good credit, no missed rental payments in last 5 years, etc.

Several of the contractors offer helical piers but don’t seem to think they’d be a more cost effective option - we can directly ask about this again.  

They tend to rely solely on property managers and fail to effectively oversee the management of the property.

But the rental too does have to meet the "active conduct of a trade or business" threshold, which does mean you wouldn't qualify to use section 179 if you have a rental that is managed entirely by someone else and you aren't at least overseeing it and making decisions about the management of it.I mostly disagree with the reply suggesting that you need to have an LLC to take the section 179 deduction. 

I’m about to be 29 and I’m hoping this really takes effect in my life in my 40’s.
