@Jason Wray Thank you very much for this response ..I’ve never sold one of my rentals before feels like I’m cutting off a leg and paying close to 100k for cap gains is really starting to eat at me 😵‍💫Any chance you would be so kind as to send me a link to something in the ballpark of what you’re suggesting this way I can get an idea of area and what this type of property could look like!

It may be more difficult to get financing and a good rate buying through an LLC. 

I have been President in a 30 lot self-managed HOA and it isn't that difficult if everyone works together. 

Hi, Jaycee The deal makes sense for me after accounting for all expenses including vacancy, cap ex, and repairs.

The HELOC strategy may work, but many lenders are wary of putting a HELOC on an investment property and if they do they still cap LTV at 75-80%.

I have done many 1031, and never did a Reverse 1031 and was advised by the Qualified Intermediary that they are more difficult and expensive. 

This needs to happen in the cities with demand and in the cities that have no demand, but only after there's incentive for companies to grow in those cities.If you're a small cap company with less than 5,000 employees, limited debt, then these cities in the middle of Arkansas, Ohio, some other **** state, need to incentivize you to come here and move/create your HQ here.

New realtors, new realty companies, new PMs aren't going to have those established relationships and *no* PMs give up the names of their people to anyone else because getting good people is difficult. 

I exclusively invest out of state (buy and hold / fix n flip) because cashflow is extremely difficult to find in this area.

@Joseph BinkowskiDon’t forget that you can now be qualified as an accredited investor by passing the series 65 exam without any income or net worth requirements.It will cost you around $200 to $300 and will be valid for 2 years (unless you can park your license with a financial advisor firm, then it will last as long as you maintain it).It is not a difficult exam and you should be able to pass it with around 40 hours of self study with a good prep book or website.
