If you are looking to lower taxes on sale you could roll into a 1031, but make sure you consult a CPA and attorney prior to attempting this... 

There are no rent rolls, no leases nothing! 

Phoenix is obviously going to be leading the charge on that.The main population segments moving here are going to be:1) Retirees from colder states (Florida #1 destination, Arizona #2) Over 10,000 people turn 65 every day.2) Younger Generations from California (mostly from SoCal - Median home price is double Phoenix's)The main thing that'll keep the ball rolling is young families from more expensive markets like California.

Hi All,Just getting started and would like to ask for any important tips and advice to get the ball rolling.

Love rolling up my sleeves to learn and figure out where I can add value to others.Thanks!

Give it time and they'll roll off.

Or should we merely roll all the assets under our current LLC structure (note: our state doesn't care about DBA- you can have 30 companies with the same DBA so long as there are no complaints/TM infringements).Many thanks in advance- and to answer a few questions; no I won't share the name and would appreciate it if others wouldn't as well. 

I realize I can just wait it out and cashflow nicely, but I'd like to get the ball rolling on additional properties here at the beginning (happy to hear arguments for/against that too, btw).The solution I was thinking of was to do some sort of intermediate loan with private money until the 6 month period is over and then go with traditional lending at that time. 

I've got my day job to roll the dice, im in REI for the "safety".

I would rather keep my cash any day than put it to work on a mediocre property and area and hope for the best strategy.If you are worth millions and want to take  a small percentage of your money and take a roll of the dice on something that is different than saving up a long time to get started and buy a mediocre property and it becomes nothing but headaches and saddles an investor with bad debt so when a good deal actually comes along they are stuck.
