@Tylere WeaverI am located in Granville/ Glens falls, NY area (Washington County) 

"^ Do you feel like income you make on the units is based more off of square footage or location rather than add-ons you made for you while living there? 

To 1031 it doesnt make a lot of sense IMO since $100k of equity going into a new property with 7-8% interest rates will force us to look into markets outside of Oregon, require a Property Mgr at 7-10% and we're almost back at square one unless its a MF with great cashflow.The main considerations for liquidating the brokerage account are: capital gains + OR state income taxes will be brutal, I like the idea of tax advantaged real estate gains AND growing real wealth and assets, not paper wealth.

Hello Bigger Pockets Community,My sister is considering renting her 3bed/2bath home in Sacramento CA and relocating to WA state.

My personal example is a one bedroom condo I’ve held my entire adult life - and this is in a top tier market - Dupont Circle neighborhood in Washington DC.

Nonetheless, having it as legal square footage will help your ARV and sales value dramatically vs. having an illegal unit. 

I am orginally from Elgin, but living down in Logan Square area of Chicago proper!

Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

A short time later, I found myself on a plane to Spokane, Washington, to attend an Inner Circle class which was taught by Lee Arnold personally.
