To see how much a 1031 exchange will benefit you in a sale you must first calculate the performance of your current property.

I have a mix of MTRs, STRs, and a room rental and I can perform all the needed property management and bookkeeping features on the site. 

Theoretically you could sue them performance. 

Looking to improve my investment skills, I decided to get my residential home inspection license which led to me starting HLC Home Inspections.

If it’s cash flow, selling might make sense to reinvest in a better-performing asset.

My client bought a 22 unit building and used this strategy and walked out of closing with a check for $800k to perform the rest of the renovations, paid himself back his already expended rehab costs and his entire down payment.  

The problem is these homes are 60-120 years old and because of the low value neighborhoods, nobody has ever made any capital improvements beyond duct tape.

They stopped paying the lender and wanted to work something out with the lender but the time is running out (ie the management company did not do any significant improvement during the forbearance period) One of the LP just emailed me and said we need to raise 65k to enlist help from this company.

Market Analysis: Palm Desert seems seasonal, so the cash flow challenge might not improve significantly without some adjustments.

Beachfront or properties near attractions tend to perform best.Mid-Term Rentals (MTRs): These are gaining traction, especially with traveling nurses and remote workers.
