However, the IRS may scrutinize exchanges if the holding period post-transfer is too short (typically 12-24 months recommended).If one partner wants to defer capital gains while the other prefers cash, the deferring partner could reinvest their share into a Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ) fund, which can defer and reduce taxable gains if held for at least 10 years.

If I put all of my eggs in one basket (Florida in this case), paid off property and a hurricane blows everything away, FEMA is nowhere to be found and the insurance companies take years to pay what little claims they actually do pay, I suffer through it in a blown out house.

You would be better off putting money into a fund that performs at 6% to 8% somewhere with appreciation. 

Quote from @Jokari Trueheart: HI, almost 11 months ago I purchased 3 duplexes and I borrowed the funds from my personal residence which I took out a equity agreement for the down payment on the investment property, great idea at the time because I have 10 years to pay it off and theres no payment requirement, but , I learned more about the consequence that it takes a large chunk of my equity the longer I take to pay it back, so my goal was to refi cash out the investment property to pay it back but I don't think theres enough equity yet to pull the full $106k needed, I only borrowed $88k but with the equity percentage for one year i'm paying about $18k in equity on top of the amount I borrowed if I pay it off in year one, so I need this paid off ASAP before it increases more.

If they’re shifting funds from asset management to real estate, it could mean increased competition for high-value properties.2.Will This Affect Institutional Investment in Real Estate?

Just a closing attorney that engages the title company.

If their deal goes bad, you could foreclose on that property and hopefully recover your funds.
