My real estate journey started with a single investment property in Putnam County, Florida, and I'm actively working to expand my portfolio and acquire my next property soon.

Quote from @Lee Loen: Hi,I'm an investor looking to acquire land, build, and sell luxury homes in the Scottsdale/PV area. 

.- 1031 exchange opportunity: I could potentially do a 1031 exchange to acquire a duplex or triplex, deferring taxes.- Access to funds: I could consider a cash-out refinance or a HELOC to access funds for additional investments.- which property would you recommended me to keep? 

Fortunately, I was able to acquire both properties at a good price on seller financing.

Stretch the terms or better still negotiating favorable terms with the seller could significantly ease the burden of acquiring the property.Private Investors: As of December, the stock/forex market are performing bullishly. 

Purchase price: $550,000 Cash invested: $150,000 Sale price: $800,000 "Acquired a 3-unit beachfront property in Carolina Beach, renovated to increase rental value and resale potential.

I would tell you to do one of the following:  (i) each spouse form his/her own single member LLC and the two LLCs can own the replacement property as 50/50 co-owners, and you and your spouse would then continue to report ownership of the replacement property on your joint 1040; or (ii) acquire the replacement property in a single member LLC owned 100% by you or your spouse. 

We want to use proceeds from our flips here in Central Oregon to acquire and eventually pay off properties in a more affordable market.

How would I acquire the deal?

I was hoping to see a roadmap on how to go from $100k invested on the 1st STR and the strategy on acquiring a 2nd STR and so forth.
