A 1031 exchange is a smart choice for your parents, reducing immediate taxes to $70K (capital gains on $300K boot + $25K depreciation recapture) versus $148K without it.

They may be regulated, they maybe aren't.A Credit Union is a good choice for funding.

You have a choice. 1.

Similarly to what Mark Cruse stated above, provide dignified housing, respect your tenants, and either have a good PM or make sure you are updated on the regulations and best practices for placing tenants.

Is this a predatory practice by PMs?

Holding investor funds without a clear and reliable process for withdrawal reflects poorly on RAD’s reputation and calls into question the ethical nature of its practices.

Is it not the actively working and realistic practice used all the time?

It has so much more than other courses, & I have many.Seth would be my second choice.
