Feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions!

That alone can free up so many avenues for you.  

Alec,The free services go a long way to giving you a pretty good idea for what a property’s demand will be.

If you engage with them and seriously contemplate what they bring to the table, you will make a better decision in the end.And no one has tried to sell you a thing, just a bunch of real estate multimillionaires trying to help you, for free.

The calculation involves:Selling Price: $1,075,000Original Purchase Price: $355,000Depreciation Recapture: $105,300 (taxed at 25%)Capital Gains: Sale price minus original cost, minus depreciation, minus selling costs (~15-20% federal capital gains rate for their income bracket).State Taxes: Since the property is in California, state capital gains taxes will also apply.Given the multiple layers, I’d highly recommend your parents work with both a CPA experienced in real estate and a qualified intermediary for the 1031 if they choose that route.If you need recommendations for professionals in Illinois or California, feel free to ask!

These are factored into the mix.In the future, I will suggest that you request a move-out report along with pictures and/or video on what needs to be taken care of. 

Or that it should be free? 

They can sell tax free.

Second pro is that you get to lower your living expenses or live "rent free" by having your tenants pay for your mortgage payment.

Hope all of that makes sense but feel free to post with anything else.
