Furthermore  once the 1031 intermediary get their cut and you also pay two sets of closing costs ( buyers now have to pay closing costs in some states ) as opposed to just one closing cost ( if not doing the 1031) it might be a “half a dozen vs 6 of the other “ scenario .Also one of the turn offs to the 1031 exchange is the interest rate will be much higher with todays rates especially since we would have to get an investment property loan which are higher than “ primary residence “ loans ..Will probably lower the rent asap ( have one more showing ) and then put it on the market .Thanks for the great advice Christian

If you have more of your VA availability left you may have options outside of a primary residence to use the loan as a benefit of your service to our country.

While buying near a hospital can sometimes be a good investment, in this case, the hospital in question is MetroHealth, which is a county hospital primarily serving lower-income residents, many of whom are on Medicare or may not have insurance.
