As property reconstruction costs climb due to inflation, I anticipate more insurance providers will follow suit in the coming years.Therefore, investors with properties in high-risk areas might consider a 1031 exchange to a safer investment location as a prudent option.

ARV values are often over inflated and rehab costs under valued creating a lose-lose situation for an investor.

The actual amount seems reasonable and in-line but that structure strikes me as odd. 

An attorney can give his opinion as to what the odds are of the different ways a legal dispute can play out, but it’s the investors decision based on a cost/benefit/ risk analysis to decide how and of to proceed.There’s no way for anyone to render an opinion about what you “should” have done without (1) complete information as to the property being purchased and (2) complete information as to the risk tolerance and financial makeup of your investment group.Here’s my advice - don’t second guess yourself based on opinions of people who (1) don’t possess “all the facts” and (2) probably never acted as sponsors of a syndicated investment.  

But taking the long view, those low fixed rate 30 year mortgages are some of the best hedges against inflation you can have.

I'd ask the tenant if they are staying because apparently they don't have to tell you if they are going at the end of the lease (which I find odd, even for CA which is very tenant friendly) and if they want to stay, they are to talk to you about renewing their lease. 

In fact, since the pandemic and inflation hit, the 2% Rule seems to have all but disappeared in all real estate discussions and been replaced with the “1% Rule” in this tighter market. 

Real estate is also but easier to control the outcome and also easier to compartmentalize/ turn off at night, for me anyway. 4.25% is less than inflation. 

Would love any input here.Thank you.Hi Anita I specialize in STR sales and operations out on the OR Coast..oddly when clients don’t find what they’re seeking or are priced out in the coast several have purchased STR’s in upstate NY.

You're just mirroring inflation.
