I want to spread out whatever “wealth” we have into other properties that could potentially benefit us.

It will familiarize you with the basic terminology and benefits.

With completing a 1031 exchange into a more expensive property, their depreciation table would reset as well, providing an even greater benefit. 

And quite frankly, there might not be a benefit of refinancing for a while.  

Expensive markets are often desirable because many people want to live there, driving up demand and prices.Reno, NV, for instance, is a market that benefits from diversified employment sectors, including tech manufacturing, hospitality, and recreation.

They will mostly just split their occupancy rates on multiple platforms without getting too much benefits out of it. 

If you plan to own real estate for a lifetime, this can be a huge benefit to your heirs. 

Your wife as conservator/guardian has an obligation to her mother and selling the property to herself creates a conflict of interest in that she stands to benefit as the buyer and is also making decisions for someone else as the seller.2.

Significant benefits are the marketing and management.
