With that, a surviving spouse that decides to sell will save on capital gains taxes.

@Paul Novak Sounds like the landlord next door might want to sell at a good price. 

To the degree, one is realistic, the probability of finding a replacement property increase.Say you want to sell a fourplex to trade into and buy via 1031 a 20 unit apartment building.And the market cap rate is 6% but you want to buy something that offers a 6.5% cap rate, you probably won’t be able to find it.

Hi BP, I'm considering selling off my small portfolio of 3 SFH's and moving the money into either a Delaware Statutory Trust via a 1031 or just selling and paying the tax and then reinvesting the money in a syndication. 

Yes he has "up" selling and tries to get you to buy other courses.

However, I do find that in general in many instances turnkey is selling at price point where all the profit is going to the turnkey providers these days.Say the property is purchased at $100k.

I am a licensed realtor and can help you buy or sell great off market properties.

He is selling wanting to do a 1031 exchange.

It looks like you are hoping for appreciation, but you don't receive any of that until you sell.

This is potentially going to be my first deal so I apologies in advance if my info and idea isn't as succinct as it could be.My wife's family is in Louisiana and looking to sell 6 rental homes as they are moving out of town and do not want to keep them as they were self managing.
