I would like to lay out how it currently stands and see what more experienced investors would do in my situation.My father owns 12 rental properties, they are all in a family trust. 3 are managed by a property manager, the rest I manage for a small salary.

I sell 1 of my properties on the market to a stranger then I 1031 exchange purchase my father's primary which he is moving out of and then I will convert that to a rental property.   

A few years ago my father quit claimed our automotive shop property to me right before he died.

@Omeed Owhadian Is it possible your father could give you Seller Financing and you just pay him every month, or does he want to get all of his cash at one time? 

Me and my wife have been ecstatic and my father in law who is a big business man in the area cant believe it.

I own another house, it was a live in flip, I bought it when I was 20 years old and my father co-signed because of my lack of credit. 

I am a married and a father of a six year old boy who loves to swim.

In the old days (40 to 50 years ago), my father's favorite way to get paid the rent was "any way he could get it".For some tenants, we used to knock on doors every Friday or Saturday and get paid cash.I remember one time, before I started driving, my father was in the hospital and I had to ride all over town on my bike and collect rent.

I received a lot of help from my Father who has been investing in Real Estate for a while.

I am a husband a father of almost 3 and a small business owner.
