Shorter term CD's actually have higher rates than longer term so staying in the 3-6 month range is best.  

Now I'd like to sell.I originally wanted to put apartments or several houses, but not anymore, cuz I want to do more hiking, biking, and Netflix-ing, and less scheming.So do I sell as a rental property or as land?

@Dallas Rapoport where is the property? 

We actually have a project wrapping up in mid city right now.  

Quote from @Dan Shuder: Not all property managers are equal.

I didn't have enough space in the Title:Novations where the investor uses a Limited Listing that puts them as the primary contact for scheduling showings, receiving/accepting offers and negotiating are brokering without a license.Novations where the investor actually hires a real estate broker to handle the aforementioned for the seller are not included. 

Don’t Do Multiple Property TypesAvoid the temptation to juggle different property types.

Quote from @Max Pergament: Quote from @Matthew Irish-Jones:Licensed and insured to manage third-party properties. 

Howdy,I haven't decided if we are gonna manage the property or hire a local area property manager yet.

@Joe Michaels, What a lot of investors will do is to use the 1031 exchange as @Michael Plaks said, isto actually "acquire" additional depreciable basis.
