@Jay Hurst great idea here.

I’d be happy to connect and share ideas on building a solid plan, like assembling your CORE 4 (agent, lender, property manager, contractor) to help streamline your journey.

Networking with Canadians who’ve invested in the U.S. sounds like a great idea.

I think all of your suggestions are great possible ideas to do this deal! 

3: I have no idea how to determine how much to borrow verses pay cash?

Hi Ethan, I would not entertain the idea of getting more money from this tenant in order to potentially increase your cash flow. 

I'm curious about number 4-could you expand on the idea there?

Also, good idea not to put it out there on the internet that you have that kind of equity, that will just attract more scammers!  

To 1031 it doesnt make a lot of sense IMO since $100k of equity going into a new property with 7-8% interest rates will force us to look into markets outside of Oregon, require a Property Mgr at 7-10% and we're almost back at square one unless its a MF with great cashflow.The main considerations for liquidating the brokerage account are: capital gains + OR state income taxes will be brutal, I like the idea of tax advantaged real estate gains AND growing real wealth and assets, not paper wealth.

The queen + twin bunk setup is a good idea.
