The total value (purchase price + improvements) must meet or exceed the relinquished property’s value to defer all taxes.

In other words, the employee contribution limit in 2019 is $19k, meaning you can only contribute $19k total between both plans (as the employee).SDIRA contributions do not count towards this $19k.

You can also see total loan exposure, every loan ever pulled, every property ever owed, every co-signing partner from every project, permits, etc... 

There is no such absolute rule or mandate for REI - it is up to you on your comfort level with your cash flow versus total investment versus appreciation potential.If I followed that rule, I would have missed out on a LOT of great opportunities over the years.We bought a house in Jones Valley in 2017 with negative cash flow - why? 

Keep in mind with a 1031 exchange, it's important to ensure that the total value of the replacement property is equal to or greater than the property you sold.

In my basements tenants have access to they totally disregard the access required and block the pathways needed for access.

When you start to get into larger properties, it can begin to make sense. 

@Rachel Hadass what a great group you’ve started!

So if you have the property for a total of 10 years, moved in at year 8, little value or tax advantage.

I totally understand that it depends but I think what I am looking for is a bit more input and guidance.
