Currently, looking to grow my company exponentially and gain connections and the only way to do that is to be a positive influence in the world so that way you stick out and gain recognition. 

If you do a 1031 exchange and purchase at least as much as you sell and use all of the proceeds in the purchase of replacement investment property you will declare non-recognition of any gain including depreciation recapture on your form 8824 filed with your next return.

It may be tough to get information out of Fannie Mae, but by law the original owner signed a recognition agreement with the Co-op.

I chose the S&P because it has way more stocks than the Dow and greater name recognition than the Wilshire and serves the point as being passive and for RE investing to make sense to me the RE must return significantly greater return than a passive option.

Then you have Pattern Recognition which is where the bulk of everything today takes place.

Make sure your accountant is quarterbacking it so there's not an inadvertent recognition of gain.2.

Temporary deferral for recognition of realized gain until as late as December 31, 2026 To the extent gain portion of proceeds is reinvested in Qualified Opportunity Fund(QOf) within 180 days of the sale or exchange of any asset, gain is not required to be recognized in year of saleGain deferred is recognized upon the earlier of the date the investment in QOF is sold, or December 31, 20262.

Times like now though they're too backed up to get into the cheap work and we can find a local painter, normally someone new that is just starting out on their own and doesn't have the name recognition to command the higher price, advertising on local town FB pages.

@Mark Sewell, Thank you so much for your advice and your recognition.

Most businesses learn that appreciation and recognition are stronger motivators than money.
