@Rene Hosman Generally, Reasons for Land Swaps are to: - Resolving zoning conflicts - Acquiring strategically important properties - Consolidating land holdings - Avoiding costly legal battles - Achieving public policy goalsWhen I was a Planning Commissioner projects would discuss land swaps for larger development projects to make sure the community impact was greater (typically gaining conservation land for us) than just allowing a rezone to be approved without public benefit.

Which may also be a reason to hold on to your current place (appreciation).Second, have you been in your primary at least two years.

This is not yoursituation, but just to walk through the different thought processesin Holding/Selling that a friend of mine is going through.Helped my friend getinto the Self Storage business and walked him through the wholeprocess from evaluating the market, selecting a site, developing thesite, systems, financing, insurance, etc.

I do truly want to hold on to it and I think I'm just nervous to change my manager, though I don't feel it is going as well as I'd like it to.

If you are setting aside funds for capex, taxes, insurance, or other expenses that don't occur monthly, transfer those funds to Savings each month and hold them there until it's time to spend them.

At this stage in my life, these equity plays are more impactful than holding onto a property for a couple hundred dollars of monthly cash flow.What’s your take?

Long term hold, with buyer planning on carrying existing financing to term without the ability to quickly cure default — terrible strategy with huge risk for both parties.

In your opinion, is a DSCR loan one of the best options if you are wanting to predominantly buy and hold in your acquisition Stategy?

We have long terms holds in Shasta and Tehama county.
