If you own real estate in a self-directed qualified account, the 1031 exchange is unnecessary.

You might check with your Self-Directed IRA Trust Company/Custodian, they might have a brokerage connection capability where you can setup a brokerage account tied to your IRA, then you can with that brokerage to invest in various public market investments, in some cases stocks, mutual funds, ETF's, treasuries, and CD's.

Of course my nosey self had to go look up your rental property.

Hi @Gil Canfu definitely there are many places in DFW where you can invest in a good rental property.I am not sure where you are at, but if self managed you should start in cities with good proximity to where you live.All the corridor between Princeton to Saginaw has good deals but there are many others things to consider as I mentioned previously.

For example we do self storage.  

As first-time landlords, we considered self-management, but as new parents who work full-time, we decided that hiring a property manager would be the best option for long-term rentals.3.

My basic underwriting making some standard assumptions on HOA expenses, 20% down, 7% interest rate, 30 year mortgage, utilities, supplies, and maintenance costs shows a loss of about $22k per year if you are self managing.

If you give your co-living home a name and vision statement, then tenants will take pride in their house and prospective tenants will be able to self-filter.4.

This new twist of claiming you owe them money is a typical scam tactic to put you on the defensive so you won't contact them about the money they actually owe you. 

They do everything from apartments to mixed-use to self-storage.
