Is this true?

Here is the how I would explain it to a kindergartner:The true power of a 1031 exchange is the ability for an investor to meet their investment objectives without losing equity to taxation.With more money they can buy larger, multiple, or more productive properties.What is the alternative?

There’s a lot of misinformation out there, particularly around VA loan assumptions—one common misconception is that you have to be a veteran to assume a VA loan, which isn’t true!

Yes, #1 isn't exactly true, but it makes a point that not every landlord and rental can expect to get an A/B class tenant.

Unlike true multifamily, meaning the county or city has the property categorized as multifamily, you can't use potential rental income from the additional units to help you qualify (if the home is single family per the appraisal, that is).

Definitely true in my state. 

This means that the true Cash on Cash return would be 12-18% as opposed to the 30%+ that they advertise.  

However, when I requested the return of my funds on June 26, 2023, that information did not hold true.

I have worked for lenders, I've brokered, and I have worked with real and true private money and even closed loans funded by a hedge fund of a syndicate of investors.  

@V.G Jason It is true that a duplex limits your rental pool.
