While there is a physical asset and a real estate transaction, you are really buying a rate of return that you want to meet or exceed on a consistent basis.

A more stable of building wealth is to have as many rental properties as possible before I'm forced to retire from my physically demanding job, The safer route seems to be to pay off the mortgage rental as fast as possible, which I'm doing.

The first person isn't a problem as a friend of the seller and is about to move as the third person is physically intimidating though only the second person is named in the eviction, for non-payment of half of the verbal lease agreement.  

As I recall, if you took out, say $50K, then the allocation of the two properties is $220K and $80K.Now, figuring out these 1031's can get complex as most of the course I took involves doing series 1031's where you trade a property in a 1031, to another one some years later in another 1031, and so forth, and then another one, where you actually own one physical building but on your books, can be several, each with it's own depreciation schedule on it's final sale, can have two or more separate depreciation recaptures calculated.

If I were asking you in person, I would have physically air-quoted the word indicators lol.
