And concentrate the cash into one of them leaving it available for you to do an eash cash out refi.If you can't or don't want to do a 1031 then make a priority list of your properties and sell the one that - brings in the least cash, you've owned the shortest amount of time (so least depreciation) and has the greatest equity. 

Hello Mark, I'm a real estate agent in Pennsylvania, specifically concentrating on the Western Pennslyvania market.

This means you can diversify your investments rather than concentrating all your resources in one project.

New to DFW and I would love to hear your advice.We concentrate on buy & hold, typically 150K - 200K PP, at least 1,000 sqft.In which areas do you think we can enter the market?

I've been concentrated in Pinellas County, but open to areas of Tampa if wise.  

It was similar during COVID and the eviction moratorium.The process I followed is simple and virtually eliminates guessing and luck and has three steps:Identify a tenant segment with a high concentration of reliable people.

There are small pockets in which they mostly concentrate.

If the numbers support one segment over the other then concentrate on the segment that meets your goals. 

We haven't been in a short sale environment in at least five years, and probably more, on any level outside of some small blighted neighborhood or over speculated concentrated area. if you can earn a living on short sales in this environment, good for you.

I normally find properties close to the 1% once stabalized.More or less, I recommend targeting tertiary markets that are 45 min to an hour outside of Boston with a large concentration of multifamily.
