I am asking because that is a science and often inhabited by regulars who know how to bid you up on the duds if you haven't done it.One tip I would give you before you go into Indiana would be to really take a hard look at your 7 units and 10 doors and see if there are any underperformers in the bunch.

The full proceeds of the sale would be viewed as equity and I would need to hold (intermediary account) and invest that full amount into the exchange property?

SFD vs condo vs 2-4 unit, hold vs flip, turnkey vs rehab, passive vs active...it really comes down to each individual property/opportunity, what your goals with the property are, and if the numbers make sense or not.Best of luck!

I think you are going to end up having to partner to hold or sell.

It’s awesome to see your enthusiasm for long-distance investing and buy-and-hold rentals—it’s a smart strategy that can work well with the right systems in place.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment in Banning.

It’s a rural area with a huge shortage of housing, regular and student, with a surge in enrollment numbers over the last 5 years.

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) buy & hold investment.

Primary markets will continue to hold their value though tough to make them cash flow.

Another path might be a short-term solution like a bridge loan to fund your next acquisitions while holding off on a full refinance until rates or terms improve.Given your goals to scale rapidly, keep an eye on maintaining cash flow while growing.
