@Dave Foster Unless I am missing something, @Hunter Gibson won't have to complete a 1031 exchange because he lived in the property 2 of the last five years (assuming he does meet this requirement).

Thanks for recommendations @Wayne Brooks @Ana Adler@Leslie Pappas I have plans on particular property that I'm going to purchase so this won't be an option for now; but thanksThanks @Dave Foster I'm certainly going to need to learn more about this plan.

@Dave Foster  well to be fair a few of my investors have net worths that I humbly admit I will never get to unless I win the lottery...

Excellent response, @Dave Foster, that's a great strategy! 

(See Dave Foster's response in an earlier thread, below):https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/22...In other words, it's not a requirement to buy "two or three rentals" during the 45 days, but, if you don't spend all the sale price of your condo, aren't you still up for capital gains tax on the difference?

@Dave Foster Thanks so much for your response and thoughts!

@Sarah Brown     @Dave Foster  is good at explaining all the ends and outs.

@Dave Foster, the “no” was in reply to this: >>Thanks for this information, I guess my main concerns with those platforms, and please correct me if I am wrong, is that I don’t get any of the tax benefits of owning real estate like depreciation, mortgage interest, etc. which can make a huge difference.The OP didn’t mention the issue of tax deferral on sale via 1031 exchange.

Have to collaborate and discuss.
