@Brian Dudash I started with one house 15 years ago and built a portfolio of 175 units via Refi, 2931 exchange, etc.

Sell it and 1031 exchange it into another rental property(ies) closer to home.Sell it, pay capital gains, and use the rest to fund another BRRRR rental.Do something else that you suggest that we haven't thought of.Our first inclination was to sell because it is a bit of a worry being so far away, even though it is under a property management company, and we could use the money to get out of a bit of debt and to hopefully use it to fund another rental around here.

I put my gains into a 1031 exchange account.

Is it possible to do a 1031 exchange with a rental property sold in the U.K. with a rental property in the U.S?

. - Brief sidenote, I'm a brewer by trade and education, so if anyone wants to do a little skill-swapping, I'd love to show you how to brew/make wine/distill in exchange for a partnership.

I'm curious though on data points re: use as medium of exchange for real estate purchases.

If you find out that you can do a better deal with something else, sell the property and do a 1031 exchange for a multi-family (to alleviate capital gains taxes).

If you elect to sell, you'll be taking advantage of a 1031 Exchange on the rental (hopefully)...otherwise, you'll be faced with capital gains.

You can invite me to connect on LinkedIn and we can exchange numbers that way. 

Maybe, in exchange for part ownership.
