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.

I have had a HELOC on my primary residence for years and have exercised it multiple times to support investment purchases.

But while you're still just running numbers as a learning exercise, you can use the crime maps on Trulia and use Google Maps to view the street.

simply do not take anyone's word for this landlock situation.. open escrow get a title commitment and see it it is actually landlocked.. if it is your remedy in the real world. is1. getting a neighbor to grant you the proper easement you will need.2. confirm from the city or county that you can access the property from this new easement..despite common statements folks will make that no property can be landlocked.. and there are remedies this simply is not true.. properties can be landlocked... owners do it to themselves.. not common but it does happen.As for the old house.. sometimes if there is no lead or asbestos fire department will burn them down as an exercise.. ( sometimes)biggest issue in many markets now is the lead paint and Asbestos remediation during the demo.. some areas they don't car.

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 their agent is OK with waiting the seller can simply pay the sale commission when you exercise your option.

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

We have to physically go into a bank for the deposit since it's easy to blow past the number of check limits and/or the dollar amount limits.In our case, we're doing commercial real estate so the check values are high per month.I would love to ask our customers to do ACH / direct deposit, but they're not always amenable to that.
