If there are any community members that are local to Westchester County or the surrounding area and have time to meet up and share experiences and tips, or even have projects themselves that I could provide some help within exchange for the guidance please let me know!

Is it possible to do a 1031 exchange and use the proceeds to buy a house using hard money, then refinance into a long term loan?

So if the partnership would not be allowed to purchase the entity together and I were to buy it, if we were to force our way down this road, would be to set up a legal agreement beforehand, I would buy the property since a partnership can not, and then the exchange for  ($$ + assigned roles + etc), my partner receives 50% equity?  

If you want more cash flow and want to walk away with more of the 80%, perhaps identify another market and do a 1031 exchange so as to not pay capital gains taxes.  

That’s something you’d want to figure out through tax planning.Regarding the 1031 exchange, bonus depreciation doesn’t affect whether you qualify for one.

Then you can do a 1031 exchange or sell it at a lower tax rate. 

If the property doesn't appraise you are then overpaying for the property in exchange for a turnkey experience."

(5 tenants are original tenants, having been in the homes since I purchased them 9-12 years ago when I was doing more buying.)My last purchase was a 1031 exchange in September of 23 for a new build. 

The "cash-for-equity" program from QuickLoans appears to be a shared-equity or deferred repayment model, where you receive upfront cash in exchange for giving up a portion of your future equity.

Then you can combine or exchange for a better or more consolidated/ better proforming area.
