I would consult with your bank before making any moves if this applies. 

Here's a bit about me and what I'm up to:Background:Industrial Property: I've got an industrial property with about $1.5 million in equity.Real Estate Experience: I've been involved in multifamily properties, developed some industrial spots, and managed short-term rentals.Current Projects:1031 Exchange Plans:Objective: Considerin a 1031 exchange from my industrial property into assets like self-storage, multifamily units, Section 8 housing, or mobile home parks.Request: Given the current market and lookin' for steady returns, which asset class would y'all recommend?

Applying a value add strategies can get you to much much more equity rather quickly.

One of the biggest challenges for everyone involved is being on the same page about the actual time required for maintenance.DIY landlords rarely properly track their time when it comes to property management in general - tracking their true time invested in maintenance is where they perform the worst.Investors that hire PMCs are rarely any better at understanding the true amount of time maintenance takes.

As mentioned above get involved locally. 

There is still some paperwork involved but significantly less than traditional lending institutions.  

These things should NEVER be considered in an educational program much less a program that has self serving owners with over-hyped experience and credentials.Students have been squeezed out of deals that their coaches are involved with.

I wouldn't hesitate to consider it, but the same fundamentals still apply.

Specifically, I am interested in learning more about syndications, working with lenders, lawyers, CPAs, and other professionals involved in cross-border real estate deals.

Here’s why:Affordability: You can find solid properties here well within your $200k–$300k budget.Cash Flow Potential: Indianapolis has a growing population, a diverse economy, and relatively low property taxes compared to some other midwestern markets like Cleveland.Investor-Friendly: Indy is landlord-friendly with strong rental demand, especially in neighborhoods near downtown, universities, and revitalized areas like Fountain Square or Irvington.If you’re open to a strategy involving light renovations, there are plenty of opportunities to add equity and boost rental income here.
