At a high level, it appears that you just need higher yielding assets to which you can perform like-kind exchanges.

Cap rate discussions almost always lead to lively exchanges primarily because many investors erroneously use it as a performance measure.

Depreciation, like most deferred retirement plans, postpones taxes, it doesn’t eliminate them, unless you never sell the property, or keep “exchanging it” , usually on less favorable terms and with large third party fees.

<g>  I would want to spend $100. and have an precise list of the existing boiler's problems.  

I was just talking to my husband about investing in Medellin (his home city) since the exchange rate is so much in our favor right now.  

I do plan to visit the area in the next month or so, which I agree will be helpful in determining a precise location to start.

I will work for free and help in anyway I can in exchange for the experience and education.

If anyone of you faces the same challenges and wants to get together to exchange thoughts and ideas, feel free to hit me up.

I’m moving to Panama City with a 1031 exchange and must buy something greater than $500,000 with $100,000 down.

Hi Guyshere's the deal,owner has a 12 unit he is looking to sale, has accumulated a lot of equity. he wants to avoid capital gains & deprecation recapture by exchanging the property to another suitable property that could match that income, understandable but may take a long time to do.owner financing is not an option here.I suggested master-lease with option to purchase, min 2 years until he finds a suitable replacement, i pay an option fee & monthly lease payment.This way he avoids deprecation recap & capital gains as there was no actual sale.any insights?
