I wanted to spark a conversation about a topic that’s been gaining traction in our industry: the balance between realtor-led showings and self-guided tours for properties.As landlords, we all want to maximize engagement and find the right tenants as quickly as possible.

When my loan was not going to close, it was one of the options that my broker and lender told me about and actually referred me to for a conversation.

If the days are 1.75% over the average, I would have a serious conversation. 

Has owner financing come up in your conversations with your friend from church?

However, you can defer taxes under §1033 involuntary conversion if you elect to reinvest the proceeds into a similar rental property within two years (three years if the government condemns the property or threatens to do so, and four years for a principal residence in a federally declared disaster area).To reduce taxable gain, consider:Electing §1033 treatment and reinvesting the full $300K into a new rental property to defer taxes completely.Partial reinvestment, where only the portion not reinvested is taxable.Properly documenting all replacement costs and property details to ensure IRS compliance.Using cost segregation on the new property to accelerate depreciation and offset future taxable income.Since the §1033 election must be made, consult a tax professional to ensure compliance and maximize deferral benefits.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

A simple conversation about market trends or investment strategies can open doors.Follow Up & Stay Consistent – Raising capital is all about trust, which takes time to build.

I'd love to have another conversation.  

Don't know how much renovations will really cost, again, either PM or GC conversations.  

There are so many variables and some of the biggest misunderstandings come from regional variances on how these variables are handled (mortgages & financing especially).I had thought progressing towards multifamily and then commercial was the obvious path to follow, but one conversation changed it all.

What has been the conversion of those leads to signed opportunities?
