What Bill says about putting the note into the 1031 exchange and then swapping it for cash during the exchange period will let you enjoy complete deferral of the tax in the 1031 exchange. 

I enjoy using Obie as an independent agent but the owner usage might not fit their guidelines in this case.

I’d like to have a diverse real estate portfolio (single family, du/tri/quad plexes and a small 8-10 unit multi family) and then see what I enjoy the most. 

I would really enjoy learning from others investing in this region and hearing your experiences with Prop Mgrs, Contractors and Rental income. 

"I'm too busy to manage investments": Limited partnership allows you to enjoy the benefits of real estate investment without the hassle of day-to-day management.

Do you just want to get long-term tenants and not worry about the vacancy for a little longer or do you enjoy the marketing of a STR?

Love the knowledge everyone has to offer here,Enjoy your weekend!

My criteria are:  An area I want to enjoy with my familyNo pending or or existing STR restrictions or legislation in processPotential occupancy rates > 150 days per year Net cash flow between -5k to $5k per yearFamily friendly destinations, non Bachelor party destinations I wrote a BP blog article also that touches on some of this as well that you might find interesting.  

What if I thought interest rates might go down and hesitated. 1) I wouldn't have been able to enjoy the house because I would have been renting. 2) I would have lost all the upside and would have paid more when rates went down. 

I would like to purchase a STR that I can also enjoy as a vacation home.
