@Adrian Rae my last two purchases the seller was 1031 exchanging.

1. close my last new build for the year. 

Keep in mind, though, if you just sell outright, you could be looking at capital gains and depreciation recapture, so it’s worth crunching the numbers with a proper tax professional (I’m not one, by the way).What do you think the rest of the community has seen happen to property values since last year, and do you believe it changes the 1031 conversation?

And location makes a huge difference. in Markets that dont move much in value then door count can be critical but in markets where prices may have 2X to 3X over the last say 15 years door counts are not as critical to net worth .

Look in the local papers for the last few meetings of the city council or county board to find out if any new rules are being proposed. 

Unfortunately Good Cause Eviction passed last night in the city of Rochester, NY.I want to thank Council Members Lashay Harris and Michael Patterson for doing the right thing and voting “NO” on this largely performative legislation…that will only TEMPORARILY protect a small handful of city residents living in EXTREME under market rental units…But it will have broad and adverse negative consequences for the WHOLE community.

Due to the last few years in Austin, I now refer Austin as Austin California.  

I had a friend purchase a Vacation home financed with RBC last year. 

Hey Everyone,I had a good conversation with Pete Reese last week about him and his land flipping deals.

By the way my last local purchase was dec 2021 which was before rates started increasing (just a few months before, i had good timing - when the fed states they are going to be raising rates, it is a good idea to believe rates may go up).
