Hi @Jen HoangI came across this post while researching how investors are navigating 1031 exchanges today, and I think your questions are still super relevant.. especially given how much the real estate market has shifted over the past year.

Looks like a super cool project!

That free Rentalizer tool that came with the BP membership was super helpful.

Other asset classes aren't so the depreciation schedule may not be as quick/beneficial.2) And it is even possible to find deals that are what I call "super-shielders" and which not only shield all the distributions in the investment but have extra to use over on other real estate investments that are throwing off income. 3) Unless you're doing a 1031 exchange  at the end or similar tax structure to defer taxes, you will have to *pay back* all that depreciation benefit at the end (on sale...which for you is in 5 years)  via depreciation recapture.

Also, since I don't smoke I'm super sensitive to it.

I just can't imagine why you would liquidate your successful, growing real estate holdings to send your money off to something that is super risky and doesn't pay that well over the long term.

The reality is stocks are NOT "investing", there savings accounts with super charged interest earning potential, that comes with the risk of going to 0.  

It's a very long standing visa program, super regularized, they have visas, 100% legal, ton's of rules about it. 

Super cool!!

That’s super frustrating Kyle!
