I bet you would. 

While my husband and his ex make a similar income and do not exchange child support due to us pointing that out in court a couple of years ago, she actively request all financial documents that she possibly can and examines our taxes, etc. 

Just like doubling down on a bet you could lose it all. 

I'm currently planning to purchase a commercial multifamily building in Chicago with the proceeds of a 1031 exchange.

At a 7% annual return, this could grow to $908K after 10 years, providing immediate liquidity and diversification.Alternatively, holding the property could yield $825K net equity after taxes in 10 years, assuming a $900K sale, with the potential to defer taxes via a 1031 exchange if reinvested into another property.

This options seems to be your best bet considering all other factors.

Now they are charging $395 per 1031 exchange!

My friend Dylan Marma would be a solid bet and I'd be happy to make an intro.Using leverage to scale, such as borrowing against this cash for larger down payments?

In exchange, I have first rights to sell the property through a power of attorney. once it sold, the seller get his agreed price, and I get the rest.

Bought it as a safe bet thinking it would do roughly $35k annually in short term rents.
