I realize I have to intend to rent the new property in a 1031 - which I would intend to do. 

I am also a newbie but here are my two cents:1. i agree house prices are inflated but dont wait for interest rates to come down. if they do come down, there will be competition.2. go for your investment property asap but dont buy it by all cash. go for mortgage instead. when interest rates come down you can refinance.am late to the game and realized only few months ago that parking money in the bank is not a wise decision.

This meeting made me realize that it would not be as much as I had originally thought.Despite being willing to work, I was taken aback by this number, because it was not even guranteed. 

I usually use $140K as the cost but have always realized some will cost less and some will cost more.

I have been investing in residential real estate since 2012 first in California and then in Florida.My cash flow has been slowly and regularly increasing during the years thanks to the cap on property tax increase in these 2 States (IE proposition 13 in CA and 10% cap on investment properties in FL).Recently I started to analyze deals in Texas and Indiana for my next rental property.Reading some posts on this platform and talking to some investors, I quickly realized that, during the years, all the rent increases will be eaten up by the regular property tax reassessments.I think many investors often underestimate this issue.Am I missing anything?

After acquisition, we had gone on to discover that this property was even more ideally situated than we had previously realized.

And as we've been negotiating, the more drawn it has become the more we're realizing a lot of the would-be buyers are getting in more vulnerable positions.

I have to reiterate again this week: Mr Market may be starting to realize something further than just today’s inflation rate.

When i realized how long that process takes i had filled out another form within a month to cancel so mail would resume at my primary address.

So, I realize a similar question was asked, but does FNMA ever sell mortgages or pools of mortgages at current NPV?
