.- Work with a realtor who has experience with 1031 exchanges (whether it's as an investor or helping past clients)

A quick example is $15K in rehab on 2/10 units (+ rent increases) that returned $400K on equity for an exchange to a larger deal, etc... 

I am looking for someone to exchange ideas, perhaps even become accountability partners?

A 1031 exchange allows you to defer the capital gains tax.

Looking for some insight on the topic of doing a 1031 exchange into properties that the owner would want to do seller financing.

Even if an investor is not doing a 1031 exchange, it can again be helpful to look at all the different deals to get an understanding of the market.

Dear Rajesh,It took me 3 years to reply to this review and am beyond saddened.I've have spent hours looking through hundreds and hundreds of exchanged emails between us and I am left absolutely baffled.Why?

The last property I sold in San Diego was a single unit which I traded up (through a 1031 exchange) to purchase a 4plex....I could not tap into enough equity solely through a cash out refinance (typically 75% LTV) to make that purchase, so I had to sell.  

We lost out on the opportunity cost of having tied up our money in exchange for no price advantage.Another member has had his face handed to him on furnishing costs on 3 separate properties.Also, when boasting about gains, Ronan takes the original cost of the cheapest unit at the time of purchase, and compares it to the current value of the most expensive, and claims it as the capital gain.

Hi there BP Members,I have a question on how to evaluate when to Sell or Hold or Develop.Sell or 1031 Exchange a property vs.
