I appreciate the reminder as well that if the gain is fairly low then it may make more sense to just pay the capital gains taxes now versus 1031 exchange. 

I have found that they worked really well when it comes to getting better tenants and better rents, and having less hassle, less headaches, and then getting a higher sales price; without paying closing costs or realtor fees.

Great community to bounce ideas off of as I build my knowledge base.  

This is a unique home and it actually has a full kitchen, 2 bed and 1 bath downstairs and I think it might be well suited as a very large vacation rental(entire home) or both floors being rented separately at some point in time.  

I would suggest looking into syndications as well.

I also invest in other assets such as stocks, and private companies as well.

They also benefit from strong schools, which can be a huge draw for long-term tenants.While you may not achieve high cash flow immediately in these areas, the property values and rents tend to appreciate steadily over time, aligning well with your goals.

My experience with PPR has been consistent with yours, as well as the search to find them.  

Well, a lot of life happened and now I am getting back to zero no debt and I'll be renting for now and I am considering a duplex to buy cash or maybe land and some sort of unconventional home but still purchasing cash.

I currently broker LIHTC multi-family for a large firm coast to coast and am also interested in MF in the Arizona submarkets as well, and will eventually invest on that scale - I just figure breaking into the state through SFH flips may be a more risk adverse way to understand the pros and cons to phoenix submarkets.
