I also have speed queen and have only done occasional maintenance/repairs over a 10 year span.  

Congrats on creating such massive equity in such a short span @Brian Adams! 

It took me 2 weeks after I figured it out to get my first deal, and now I have 5 waiting to close, all within a 2 week span, and I started last month.  

The 1031 exchange seems a lot of work, plus finding something in such a short time span I have done some looking into ReFi - seems I could get something for a 10/25 in the 4.8% range, (closing -$1,500-2,000k & appraisal in the same range).  

I was a real estate agent for 8 years in the Chicago area, however only purchased a condo for myself in that time span (from 2001-2009).

I'm in the Phoenix-Metro market, and as a longtime resident who's had a career in outside sales spanning 15+ years, I've seen every nook of the metro area and NoAZ and I'll put this forward:  I'd advise taking a good look at any and all comps offered you by 'wholesalers' with more than a grain of salt.  

The math is to identify all CapEx components, their total life span (assume purchase new), and their replacement cost.  

The universe spans from debt to equity, residential to commercial, and from core plus, to value-added to opportunistic styles.

Wife passes away within the 2 year span and quit claim deeds the property to here sister.Sister and Husband are not on great terms.

This could be partly due to my insulation in the Midwest, or it could be me being naïve, however history tells me we are in a 30% growth stage that should be followed by a 200% growth span of about 6-8 years.
