The refund part is just to get you get committed to another deal that makes them even more  money than that refund.

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? 

why on gods green earth would you want to buy 10k condemed houses :)  seems like a waste of time and money to me.

Seller financing, private money, and subject-to deals can open up opportunities that others might pass on.🔹 Maximizing Value – A distressed property isn’t just about fixing what’s broken; it’s about repositioning it for the best possible return.

@Dallas Morioka why use your own money when you can do seller financing. 

How much money do you have for a down payment for a new rental and how much can you borrow? 

You can purchase this with a low-money-down FHA loan. 

The interest that it does accrue is money you don't lose, but rather it does go back into your investments. 

I do pretty decent for my age, and I live at home still, so I've been saving up a lot of money.

Can you use the money and get a better return?
