Comments again were : Quit Claim Deed the Property, start paying the loan (which he noted he had no money).

At the moment with 3 rentals (6 total units), I have one account and a credit card associated with it.

Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Rocky Hill.

Purchase price: $270,000

We bought our primary residence in 2012. We then purchased 2 houses for investment purposes.

...

$7,500 invested in the market at 8% return over 3 years is close to $9,500 in total. 

I was hoping to do a deal and get my feet wet with something relatively simple to start.

Don't get me started on the national debt and the amount we pay in interest each year.

My duplex - built 1989, 2,060 sf, 2 bed/bath, 1 year old roof, value if I subdivide (county already approved) and sell each separately $150k each ($300k total)Investor duplex - built 1995, 2,300 sf, 2 bed/bath, 5 year old roof, value around $310kThe investors initial request was for an equal trade and they would pay realtor fees, which I replied wouldn't be equal due to buying/selling costs (recording fees, title insurance, closing fee, survey, inspections, loan fees, 1031 fees, accountant fees, repairs), taxes would increase due to new sale price, I'd trade a 3.75% mortgage for a higher one, and I'm on the 10th year of a 30 year loan so resetting that to a new loan would restart amortization and pay more towards interest.

@Nathan Deutsch Welcome TO BiggerPockets If you are not comfy with privacy issues while house hackingyou can try  a  FHA loan or start with a partnership to buy a STR etc

Totally understand that those things don't closely mirror the BRRRR model too closely, but that's what I'm seeing right now. 

This tax can significantly increase the upfront cost of acquiring property, so it's important to factor it into the total cost of investment.2.
