It simply means that you agree to let them perform a 1031 exchange which starts with the sale - not that you have to help them finish. 

I don't know about your idea of maths but to me that says Midwest performs at 2X of CA. 

It under performed, but it was my first flip.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

Some towns require a nightly online form to be filled out for any non-residents who are parking their cars (this is easily automated from an operational standpoint).As the MTR market becomes saturated over time, those who have separated themselves from the rest of the "competition" will continue to perform well by having an outstanding listing and all the MTR-specific amenities.

Ultimately it will depend on the property (banks perform stress test-debt ratio)-but I think 5 year term is what I found so far.

For example, Clearwater FL (famous beach and Phillies Spring Training) does have a 30 day minimum on rentals, making it essentially impossible to have an investment perform well. 

@Randall King If you find the property isn't performing well, a 1031 exchange would defer the tax and concentrate that equity into something that has a greater cash flow potential, like what @Corby Goade said.

though everyone at the closing could not believe that I was only 19 years old and buying their first duplex it made me feel really special and and good knowing I was performing better than anyone near my age group.

Unfortunately Good Cause Eviction passed last night in the city of Rochester, NY.I want to thank Council Members Lashay Harris and Michael Patterson for doing the right thing and voting “NO” on this largely performative legislation…that will only TEMPORARILY protect a small handful of city residents living in EXTREME under market rental units…But it will have broad and adverse negative consequences for the WHOLE community.
