Ever heard of 721 exchange?

But No one, and I mean no one, nurtures a new business venture with the intention of exchanging more profitable "primary gig hours for less profitable "side gig" hours.   

I am trying to learn more about the world of 1031 exchange. 

@Thomas WrightYou may benefit from attending a local real estate investing networking event in Brooklyn.More often than not - there will be a wide range of professionals attending the event form realtors/investors/lenders.If you connect with some well - you can exchange numbers and grab coffee/lunch.

Sometimes partners can exchange out into other properties.

I'm in a 1031 exchange trying to find a 8-30 lunit here ocally$100-$180k range/unit depending on location and conditionI'm from Los Angeles so it would be nice to meet some local active BPers.Thanks

While using tax benefits of the loss, yes, I would still save some money compared to renting / buying, but that seems like a dangerous wager to me given that the depreciation taxes will be recouped by the feds if I decide to sell and THAT could end up costing me way more than I ever actually made on the property.

I was thinking of starting a book exchange for people in the Raleigh, NC area. 

We are having trouble deciding whether it makes sense to try to buy an 8 or 10 unit place on a 1031 exchange here in San Diego or just keep the buy and hold strategy on this one and undertake the remodeling project.
