That’s something you’d want to figure out through tax planning.Regarding the 1031 exchange, bonus depreciation doesn’t affect whether you qualify for one.

.- If I use a 1031 Exchange, does the next property also have to be a duplex?

The "cash-for-equity" program from QuickLoans appears to be a shared-equity or deferred repayment model, where you receive upfront cash in exchange for giving up a portion of your future equity.

If no consideration is being exchanged, then all you would need is exempt stamps for State and county. 

The agreement reached was the landlord would lower $100 of the rent (current rent: $3100) in exchange for us to paint the two bedrooms.

Might it be smarter to offer a slightly lower monthly rent in exchange for a tenant who feels more content.

AND THEY CAN SCREAM EASY AT THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS IF THEY WANT.BUT GO AND CONVINCE YOUR NEAREST RELATIVE TO SELL THEIR LARGEST ASSET WITH YOU AT ONLY A 5% MARK UP AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW REAL ESTATE EXCHANGES WORK. 

My real estate journey began in 2010 with a three-family property that I lived in, renovated, and eventually turned into a profitable rental before selling it via a 1031 exchange to purchase a short-term rental.My current goal is to acquire my first multifamily property using private lending by Q1 2025 and grow my portfolio using the BRRR strategy.A question for the community: What’s been your most effective way to connect with private lenders for small multifamily properties?

I have heard positive things - expect lower overall returns in exchange for them doing the work!
