Quote from @Michael Overall: Good day, If an investor has 10 rentals and wanted to over time sell them and put the money tax free from a 1031 toward a large purchase is there a process to do that? 

@Angel Perez  You should also check out smaller local banks and ask to speak to the commercial lending department. 

You and I both know, nothing is free in life.

YouTube is also a fantastic resource—it's free and you can learn at your own pace, which is a huge benefit.

Would a cash-out refinance to free up equity and keep growing be a smart move, or should I focus on paying down my existing debts?

Hey @Alex Moazeni, feel free to PM me.

All brokers, realtors, wholesalers, etc... you need to check this list before you call anyone!!!!

This will allow you to mitigate risk on the first property but also allow you to do a cash out refi on the second, so now you have access to tax free cash that you can do with whatever you please.

Here are some trends that could play out, or further develop in 2025.Leasing & Tenant Experience AI-Powered Leasing: Chatbots and AI tools will streamline leasing processes, from answering tenant inquiries to scheduling tours.Virtual Tours & Digital Leasing: These will become even more standard, making it easier for tenants to rent remotely.TechnologySmart Property Management: IoT devices (smart locks, thermostats, etc.) will become more common, improving efficiency and tenant satisfaction.Property Management Software: Platforms will integrate more AI for predictive maintenance, rent collection, and financial reporting.SustainabilityGreen building practices and energy-efficient upgrades will be a major focus, driven by tenant demand and potential incentives.AI & AutomationAI will play a bigger role in tenant screening, rent pricing optimization, and even predicting market trends.Automation will handle repetitive tasks like maintenance requests and lease renewals, freeing up PMs for higher-level activities.I'm sure there are plenty more shifting trends that I haven't mentioned and that are sure to evolve over the next year. 

But, if you’re traveling to check out a property you already own, that could be deductible.
