I like these amongst ,many other right nowREXR - (Rexford) they are a niche (sub-specialist) in industrial warehouse/distribution/manufacturing in the southern California only urban or Infil area, they are not international like PLD - prologis, their MOAT is that SO-Cal has geographic limitation to new inventory, so they have rent pricing power that industrial in rest of country doesn't, also 26 million people in so-Cal and the 2 busiest Ports in country, their earning/revenue projections next few years are best in class, and they are cheaper on price to book than PLD or others, I own some and will buy a lot more in upcoming Recession, likely in next 6-12 months, when publicly traded equities will likely slide by 20-30% although their assets (physical buildings) are only going up in valueVICI- (casino REIT), used to be part of Cesars palace, then Caesars spun them out in 2018, to do sale leasebacks of their properties to take all that physical capex off the books.

In the ideal scenario, we picture keeping the property as a cash flowing asset forever and letting our kids deal with it after we die.BUT, if that doesn't happen, and we decide to sell in 7 years or 10 years, I'm going to kick myself for losing out on the capital gains tax exclusion of $500k.  

Typically Credit Unions are good sources of capital for Lines of credit but when it comes to refinancing there seems to be quite a bit of red tape.You want to work with a broker who essentially has the entire mortgage industry in the palm of their hand and can put you into the product best suited to meet your needs.

Meaning, they are not willing to:- sell their property off market- go into contract with a wholesaler- sell their property for a discount (i.e. they want 'top dollar')In cases like these, an agent can still assist the homeowner by helping them sell the traditional way.That said, wholesaling can be lucrative so I echo the advice you've received here - get out there and speak to people in the industry who are willing to share helpful information.All the best!

I understand that the Section 121 Exclusion for Primary Residence allows you to sell your Primary residence and not have to pay ANY capital gains taxes on the gains/proceeds - as long as you use those funds to purchase your next Primary residence.What I cannot seem to find the answer to is - what is the maximum timeline allowed from Sale of the first Primary to Purchase of the replacement Primary residence? 

That statistic is an indicator that local industry wages can't hold up to home valuations which is a recipe for disaster in my eyes.

This industry is so much more sophisticated and has translated a slightly better mousetrap into market share.

None of the names listed above appear to be pivoting into the homeowner association space, yet here in the northeast USA it's still quite a fragmented industry outside of the major urban centers with established and deep-pocketed PM firms. 

Yes, it is extremely common in our industry.
