Quote from @Emily Gowen: I only recommend investors sell when they can move the money to a better-performing investment or when the sale moves them closer to a specific goal.

The only think I hear about hers is it is difficult to have work performed on it by a contractor.

A good manager can improve performance for a mediocre investment; a bad manager will kill a good investment.

Given this is a front loaded fee that needs to be overcome in asset performance, it is a lot harder to absorb on "smaller" deals.  

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

Depending on the resort the 7/9 bedroom was in, yes, it will generally perform better than a 4 bedroom in any reputable resort, including solara. 

Here's a link https://www.oregon.gov/ODA/shared/Documents/Publications/FoodSafety/ServiceAnimalsposter.pdf The BS factor is off the charts with some clients...Then it gets tricky because you are only allowed to ask certain questions as to whether the dog has been trained to perform a specific task etc.

That is if purchasing EXISTING performing investment real estate AND have very good clarity of every facet of the transaction ESPECIALLY reasoning for seller selling, AND you have decent market intelligence. 

You can ask (if it's not obvious) what the nature of the disability is and what task(s) the dog has been trained to perform.

If you're not meeting the 500 test, you will need to track the time of each person that performs work on the property.
