I joined the forum and listen to the podcasts because i felt that this was one place that was real, that wasn't a gimmick or scam and primarily bc they allowed free exchange of information and education.

In exchange for his expertise and consultation on the deal, I offered him a position!

We are interested in the BRRR strategy but housing in our market is quite expensive and In short supply so we’re considering sellIng our Rental and doing a 1031 Exchange to invest in a less expensive market like Indianapolis.

Then 1031 exchange them for larger ones.  

Although, there are A LOT of "mentor groups" and other such non-sense that will not only take your money in exchange for "info" but the info they give isn't based in reality.Finally, 2020 is too far away.

I'm in a 1031 exchange, having sold a commercial property in Los Angeles.

One MAJOR advantage to renting the property out for a year is if you decide to sell it after renting it out for a year or longer it's considered an investment property and you can 1031 exchange it into a property of equal or higher value and not have to pay capital gains taxes on the sale of the property. 

I'm selling my home and doing a 1031 exchange, and am filing a California Form 593-E (Real Estate Withholding -- Computation of Gain or Loss).

I exchanged messages with another (very generous and informative) investor recently about seller financing and he described it like you, with the healthy down payment and slightly higher interest rate, but I couldn't wrap my head around a buyer with $25k in their bank account who can afford a higher interest rate and slightly higher monthly payments that couldn't qualify for a traditional loan.

There are few ways to do it. 1)  Do a 1031 exchange.
