Quote from @Michael Overall: Good day, If an investor has 10 rentals and wanted to over time sell them and put the money tax free from a 1031 toward a large purchase is there a process to do that? 

If 1031 is to be implemented it must be done on the property level.2. 1031 generally does not apply to IRAs since they are tax-exempt. 3.

Figure out a question set that helps dive into their expertise as investor-friendly agents, ask about their experience in the investment real estate space, and have them send you a few properties that could meet your goals to show that they can provide quality properties for your to analyze (hint: this is also good to see if they overpromised on their market [ex - Raleigh for cash flow]).Also with the new lawsuit, any agent that knows what they're doing will require you to sign an agency agreement prior to viewing a home.

I'd also add to that that you are paying a 20% withholding tax on gross rental income. 

I could also see 15% corp tax and the whole no tax on tips thing.

When I did my first house hack in Columbus I showed very low income on taxes. 

The first is that there's no consensus between tax professionals, and the second is that you will not like my personal interpretation.My interpretation is:Until the property is "placed in service" - everything goes into basis.Illustration.You buy a property July 1st.You finish rehab November 1st and put the property on the market.Your tenant moves in January 15th.The property was placed in service November 1st, and it does not matter that the tenant did not move in until the next year.Everything paid between July 1st and November 1st, including interest and utilities, goes into basis.

Prior to this situation, I do not have any verbiage about noise complaints in the lease since blasting music at late hours of the night is “disturbing the peace”.

Hi Kin,Transferring your share of the property to your brother may have tax implications, including gift tax if the transfer is considered a gift.

Our lease had an early termination clause requiring a one-month payment, but that didn't seem fair to her as she hadn't even moved in.How would you handle a cancellation prior to moving in?
