Quote from @Michael Overall: Good day, If an investor has 10 rentals and wanted to over time sell them and put the money tax free from a 1031 toward a large purchase is there a process to do that? 

A PM sends someone for maintenance and that's valuable info on how the house is being treated.

The December 2024 report from the Austin Board of REALTORS® (ABoR) shows stable housing prices and balanced market conditions in the Austin metro as we reached year’s end.

Contact potential sellers who are not actively seeking to sell their real estate holdings.  

You've probably heard of big Landlords losing property, but only because they were flagrantly violating Fair Housing, running a slum, or otherwise violating the law in an egregious manner.

Sorry for the slow response had a wedding to prepare for at my house and just in recovery after being in the hospital.

They can sell tax free.

When I was 22, I did a house hack, and I highly recommend it.

If I were in your and/or your mother-in-laws shoes, I would go to a local bank and use the free and clear house to secure a $150K+ line of credit. 

Once you land on the right PM, transition everything to them.As others have stated, four houses is not a big task.
