@Rene Hosman Generally, Reasons for Land Swaps are to: - Resolving zoning conflicts - Acquiring strategically important properties - Consolidating land holdings - Avoiding costly legal battles - Achieving public policy goalsWhen I was a Planning Commissioner projects would discuss land swaps for larger development projects to make sure the community impact was greater (typically gaining conservation land for us) than just allowing a rezone to be approved without public benefit.

If you’re set on condos, ensure you’re targeting areas with strong rental demand and minimal HOA restrictions.Regarding an LLC, it’s great for liability protection, but it won’t necessarily give you tax benefits unless structured strategically.

This is especially helpful since your goal is to replace your income and invest full-time.Market Timing: Bend, OR, has seen strong appreciation, but if you believe the market is peaking or stabilizing, now might be a strategic time to cash out.Cons:Losing the Low-Interest Loan: Your 3.1% rate is a huge advantage in today’s environment.

Focus on fundamentals: buy below market value, have strong cash flow (or a clear path to creating it), and maintain sufficient reserves to weather any unexpected challenges.If you’re strategic and stay patient, this market could create opportunities that lay the groundwork for long-term success.

Unlike investing in random properties, their methodical approach ensures that each investment is strategically placed for the best potential.

Renting it out while strategically leveraging the equity could be the best path forward.As @Jaycee Greene said, DSCR looks at your credit rather than DTI.
