When you sell the property, and access the equity in the form of liquid cash, you make your profit. 

Quote from @Brendan Jones: For the homes, and or properties that you will use as a primary or a rental property one big thing I look for is infrastructure in the area, extrinsic value (I.e. hospitals in the area, schools, and job market), and the last thing is creature comforts for people (I.e. is a store to get groceries 1 hour away or 2 minutes away).

Bonus Tip:  Find a distressed HUD Home (google Hud Home Store) and you can buy a house for just $100 down!

I am thinking about selling the property as it is becoming more difficult for me to manage from a distance.

Hello BP Fam,Most DSCR lenders I've spoken to have a penalty for selling a property within the first 5 years of purchasing the property. 

But, even if someone was I would imagine the financing terms you can get a mid level furniture store would be much better then a hard money loan anyway. 

Go to a thrift store and see what they have.

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books on this topic, or you can learn about it by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

I would venture to say very few landlords correctly hold their deposits based on local landlord/tenant law but as long as the money doesn't walk away and is not wrongly withheld from tenants its highly unlikely wrongfully storing the funds will become problematic.

Quote from @Michael Overall: Good day, If an investor has 10 rentals and wanted to over time sell them and put the money tax free from a 1031 toward a large purchase is there a process to do that?
