By investing in a commercial asset with highly accelerated (bonus) depreciation, you may be able to achieve losses that offset even more gains than a 1031-exchange can do.

Give yourself a window of time to accomplish any repairs required between residents.As an added bonus, when you pre-lease your home you have more time to screen and interview prospects instead of being rushed to make a last-minute, less-thoughtful decision.

When buying off of MLS, you are paying through mass exposure and bidding wars.

I definitely know from my own experience with anxiety that it never bothers looking at charts or tables to help reduce the feelings of exposure to potential risks.

Both provide outstanding bonus depreciation and of course, the DST will also allow a 1031-exchange. 

The lifespan of each item is important because short lifespans let us do bonus appreciation.

If the Flips are owned under a different entity (diff. name, LLC or Corp.) you need to make sure they can be added to that policy to cover the premises Liability exposure.  

You could either refinance your loan at that time to a Conventional loan to restore your VA entitlement for another property wherever you move to next, or without refinancing you will still have bonus entitlement to buy another property. 

- Any networking opportunities, intro calls, or more are welcome- If you are tight on time equity and have a need for someone to assist on market analysis, cash flow modeling, or helping with deal flow in return for exposure to the industry let me know.Appreciate any and all feedback, thank you.Brian

While I am not sure if there are more or less syndicators than their used to be, I will agree that there is more opportunity for syndicators to gain exposure then there used to be.
