Quote from @Alex Todd: Hi all - my wife and I are planning on a April 2025 1031 exchange into a larger (for us at least...like 5-8 units) multifamily unit.

You can use 1031 exchanges to trade multiple properties for fewer to make it easier to manage in retirement or even to trade into passive real estate investments. 7.

@Duy Xuan Do, if you do a 1031 exchange on the sale of your investment property you can buy multiple duplexes. 

We do our best to keep the community a place for real people to exchange real ideas about real estate but it takes all of us to keep it functioning properly by doing our best, putting our best foot forward, and aiming to give more than we take.I've been here for years, as have many of my friends.

BP has helped me meet real people in real life who are able to offer advice and exchange idea.

I’m willing to offer stakes in my assignments etc, in exchange for some help in starting out and acquiring my first deal. 

I would consider 1031 exchange to one high quality Nevada or Arizona SFH or duplex but high prices and 7% interest rates are dissuading me from doing anything.

Eventually 1031 exchange into a larger asset and repeat6.

As for sellers, perhaps they need this one to contribute to the purchase of a larger property and time is ticking on the exchange.  

Whether that be a partial exchange to pull some cash out or a full exchange to invest into a better deal.
