all these millionaire using leverage and creating low debt for themselves.All CEO issuing stock options, issuing corporate bond , stock buyback is all about creating low cost debts.

Do you buy IPO stocks or power companies?  

How does the transfer affect the stock/debt basis? 

For clarification since my situation is very similar:@Dmitriy Fomichenkocurrently, I have stocks in IRA and Roth IRA and some in neither, just stocks invested.

Forced Apperception (BRRRR or buying at a discount) allows me to build in equity from the beginning of the investment in case I need to fire sale the property for an unforeseeable reason.Debt-Paydown and Tax-Benefits are just a result of owning real estate and can be more-or-less predicted over a time period.

I would sell the lot, take the $200k and diversify into dividend-bearing stocks.

For me I am making sure all properties has DSCR above 0.9 and total portfolio is 1.4 dscr.My reserve is 50% of gross valuation of all portfolio.How to do this is to over leverage from the asset that I had from 10 years ago when money is cheap and refi with sub 3 percent rate, that money I reinvested to portfolio of dividend stock/etf that generates 15-30 percent cash flows.

Pros:- Everything is all in one place- Easier to manage, less hassle (likely)- More predictable - Easier paperwork Cons: - Less liquid (have to sell all or none) - All eggs in one basket Just off the cuff, those are my initial thoughts. 

Then you can reinvest w/no 1031 stress.The step-up in basis provision adjusts the value, or “cost basis,” of an inherited asset (stocks, bonds, real estate, etc.) when it is passed on, after death.

Usually we have a few thousand dollars each year to invest after we max out these accounts (and it usually just goes into a taxable brokerage account where we use it to buy Berkshire Hathaway or Markel or some other stock that does not pay a dividend).That extra money was actually how we ended up buying this duplex - thought it might be a good way to diversify our investments.I was wondering if I could use net income from our duplex (assuming we have net income, and by net income I mean what we report to the IRS) to fund a solo 401k or some other kind of tax-advantaged plan?
