Its also really convoluted since the gov has the concept that it can't tax you at a higher rate than your current rate. 

However, depending on your goals, the concept may be a boon for you. 

I realize you are an expert on 1031 but perhaps "interest tracing" concept is less common...

@Sarah West The basic concept is that you take out a 1st position HELOC instead of a standard fixed rate 1st mortgage.

Just the concept and idea aren't enough to bring to the table.

That is a concept everyone can and should get behind.

Each has its own advantages and challenges, and success depends more on the specific property, location, and your management approach.The "forever apartment" concept rarely exists.

Nothing to add here beyond simplifying the concept. 

This seems to be a very difficult concept to comprehend.Property Managers are not an off-the-rack commodity that perform equally. 

I asked him if they’ve heard about seller finance, they were able to understand the concept so they want 20% down and they’d be willing to set up payments, this would be my first time doing this so I’m just looking for advice for anyone who has done seller-Finance in the past maybe some pointers towards how to set up the note etc. thanks for advice
