@Mary Jay If you are negative cashflow on your rental properties, should you consider selling them for seed money to 1031 exchange into something that is not cashflow negative. 

Its quite common for an investor to use a HELOC or some other line of credit as their seed capital.

I can acquire the seed capital, anyone up for an extended vacation?

If they have scraped clean the yard, have them heavily seed it, at THEIR expense, and water. 

Use profits as seed capital to construct foundation (water, sewer, electric, etc.) for some type of commercial operation on contiguous lots along hwy 74 in Lake Elsinore. = retained ownership commercial lease income.

Put your seed money in there, this is not taxed as its not considered income.

Using This strategy you are almost unlimited on how many deals you can do because you should not run out of seed money to do deals...

I also realized that with some seed money, which I was able to get out of the equity in my house, I could jump directly into flipping if I could partner up with somebody and the right opportunity presented itself.So, with a partner that I met in one of the many REIA meetups that I was attending, I set out to start sending marketing material via mail houses to reach out to distressed homeowners and kept it going for about five months.

My brother and I will be inheriting a condo in Massachusetts and interested in getting thoughts on whether to keep it and rent it out or sell it and use the proceeds as seed money for potentially better cashflow investments. 

I have a little seed money to work with, I have some experience in home rehabbing, and I have recently gotten my real estate license.
