So pretty good equity position within a year plus cash flowing well based on a $325k purchase price.

The PM company is starting to kick a little better lately but we had a rough 2024.Always remember that every positive and negative experience when taken well is an opportunity to grow as a person and to learn something valuable. 

Stay positive and expect problems.

The 1031 positions the investor into a property that the REIT absorbs as @Joe Sera said in the 721 conversion. 

They get a higher return since they are covering housing cost, have the $250k per spouse primary residence deduction in gains, is a savings account, higher leverage position, lower interest rate possible, will pay more premium for location, etc.House might be overpriced for REITs but not for home owners.  

In my search, I've noticed that many positions require proficiency in Yardi.I've been actively looking for effective ways to learn Yardi, but it seems challenging to find suitable training or courses online.

Quote from @Anthony Maffei: I purchased a two-family property in 2017 and now have around $500K in positive equity.

We have more than 100 Five Star Reviews!

Your looking at this really cool and unique position your in, and focusing on it as a problem. 

If one tenant moves out, the property remains cash-flow positive.
