Keep in mind, though, if you just sell outright, you could be looking at capital gains and depreciation recapture, so it’s worth crunching the numbers with a proper tax professional (I’m not one, by the way).What do you think the rest of the community has seen happen to property values since last year, and do you believe it changes the 1031 conversation?

Take ownership of your mistake and learn to do the proper due diligence recommended above😊

@Chris Kay to learn to properly DIY manage you have two basic options:1) Trial & fire on your own, hopefully not making a major mistake that costs you tens of thousands of dollars.- Once your time is more impotant to you then the cost of a PMC, you can hire one.2) Hire a PMC to guide you on your first rental and learn from their expertise.- You can buy additional properties and DIY manage those, perhaps leaning on the PMC for any issues you're not sure how to handle on your own.Good luck:)

There's certainly been an uptick in available properties over the last few years as some owners have grown tired, new construction is booming in new lots and ones that were lost in fires, & investors who bought in 2020-2022 who may've overpaid and weren't properly set up are struggling.
