Now, property values have dropped—almost to the point where the capital gain tax I avoided through the exchange is offset by the decreased value.Has anyone found an effective 1031 exchange strategy that allows you to take advantage of the tax benefits while still buying the replacement property at a good price?"

I like our VAs, really depends on how much you can handle effectively.. 

I moved here from Florida as well.I love house hacking here in Columbus because you can get into the higher priced areas that will appreciate the fastest and leverage your money very effectively.

These current proposed changes are just effecting Denver for now but are meant to realign with the changes the state made recently, and future changes in other districts in the metro area can often be modeled after changes in Denver properIf you want to make a comment or pose a question it only takes five seconds here

Zenda is a very small town so I question the demand for folks wanting to live there so that effects both flips and LTR and is a far enough distance from Geneva Lake that IDK the demand for STR so all of these things must be considered. 

I'd rather have 3 busted potable water lines to one damaged yard sewer line any day of the week. 

To name a few HVAC for unit 1 is 20 years old and could not fully inspect the heat, the pipe to the sewer has completely dropped and is not connected, in basement the window header, subflooring and joists are damaged from termite activity, and their needs to be some tuckpointing and masonry work done for the exterior brick. 

That wouldn't be more of an enlightening discussion now would it rather than accusing someone you don't know that they hired people from the Philippines to effectively lie on this platform.

It can also capture damage to the property for which the tenant will be responsible so they don't claim it was in that condition when they moved in.

I've done this before and it is effective in getting the tenants to pay back rent or getting them to leave.
