But lately have had a hard time finding anything to BRRR or even with enough skin to flip.

I'm conservative in nature, but am looking for the push to jump in at some point.

It's the nature of investing in real estate. 

Personally, I'd be nervous to not get some type of deposit from my guest because I like for them to have "skin in the game" 

Any amount over your adjusted basis in the property (initial cost minus depreciation) could be subject to capital gains tax unless you reinvest it strategically.2. 1033 Exchange (Involuntary Conversion): A 1033 exchange (involuntary conversion) is specifically designed for situations like fire, natural disasters, or eminent domain.

Naturally your old property must sell before you can take title to the new one, but it gives you a much better head start on the negotiation process of your replacement property.

When you're doing your due diligence in MF just make sure they are not over leveraged and have some skin in the game.  

At this point, we are three years in, and have learned that you sometimes have to have thick skin (grit) in dealing with tenants, managers, and RV site visitors; while maintaining a sense of humor and humility.

After reading this thread, a few comments come to mind over this common A or B decision.Without knowing how much it is (no need to say) makes my advice (or more accurately, my opinion) more general in nature but here it goes:Lending has very little to no tax shelters whereas buy and hold does.

Building rapport is one of my strong suites so the chemistry tends to flow natural.
