They charge $1250 for properties under $1mm for a 1 to 1 exchange and if you have another property to move your funds into, they charge $550/additional property.

Consider this scenario:- You buy a $400,000 duplex with 5% down ($20,000) at a 6.5% interest rate.- Your monthly mortgage payment (PITI) is about $2,800.- You rent out the other unit for $1,800 and maybe a spare bedroom for $500.- Total rental income: $2,300.- You’re still responsible for a $500 gap each month.Add in maintenance, unexpected expenses, and vacancies, and your costs can climb even higher.

Can anyone recommend an eviction attorney with reasonable rates? 

So, Colorado vacation rentals will be taxed at something between the current residential tax rate of 6.7% and the commercial tax rate of 27.9%.

I did a cash out refi on my principal residence at a much lower rate and paid it off.Now I plan on using the equity for more purchases.What? 

My question is where do I start with funding and how would I find investors if needed?

Many have pulled out of insuring multifamily properties or only cover up to 4-unit buildings.While Allstate doesn’t have a unit cap, they do cap total coverage at $750K on a landlord policy—which is why I’m exploring options for supplemental coverage.The carrier raised my rate by ~86% on all three properties under this policy.

When we moved, we turned it into a rental, hoping this would be the start of our real estate journey—something we’d like to continue once my husband retires.Some key details:My husband is active duty and will retire in 3 years.We have one final move coming up this summer to Raleigh, NC.Our current debts are crippling us—the high interest makes it tough to stay afloat every month.The plan me and my husband are thinking bout:Sell the rental property.Use the proceeds to pay off all our debts, set aside emergency funds and a down payment for our next home.Free up $1,500/month from debt payments, and that also can stash in a high-yield savings account.Regain full VA loan entitlement, allowing us to purchase a multifamily home and use the house hacking strategy for up coming move.Avoid capital gains tax, since April marks five years of ownership, and the tenant’s lease ends in May.This wasn’t our original plan, and we hate the idea of using our equity to pay off debt.

Alot of unknowns as you don't have the ability to walk the property beforehand, but interesting process, and pretty good deals exist there.While the Trustee Sales are cash purchases, there are many hard money options that can turn over the funds in time for the 24 hour funding required to complete the purchase.If you are interested, let me know and I can go into more detail, as well as make some other suggestions for you to consider.
