A new future real estate agent and real estate investor here!

We're exploring creative ways to provide him with the cash needed for the down payment while avoiding triggering a taxable event.One strategy we're considering is purchasing his future primary residence ourselves, making the mortgage payments, and then, once we've built enough equity—comparable to the appraised value of his rental properties—transferring the title to him as a form of exchange.What are your thoughts on this approach?

I can wait a year or more, so long as it gets approved and I'll eventually see that money in the future.

Do you know what investment strategy you plan to use in the future?

They cancelled our contract for "being out of process in the processing of your future S8 tenant's paperwork".

I'm currently building up capital for future ventures and properties that I find on market, as well as attempting to find the best brokerage where I can work under an individual who is already more established.

Income approach Also known as the rental income approach, this method estimates the market value by analyzing the property's anticipated future income and converting it to a present value estimate.

Small multi-family is hot right now due to house-hacking (low barrier of entry), and future cash-flow. 

So, my first caution is it would be healthy not to expect similar results on certain real property investments/deals in the current and near future cycles.That said, there are multiple considerations and clarity needed, before I would act on any investments with your equity.
