Hi @Christina Merlo, Yes, you can sell and exchange your "share" as long as you own it as an individual (e.g., tenants-in-common). 

If sellers are offloading as much inventory as you've eluded too, you may see inventory pile up which leads to more days on market and lower sales prices.It doesn't hurt to get out there, see properties and submit offers to test the market so long as you're prepared to pull the trigger once you find something worth investing in.Best of luck to you moving forward!

I have gotten creative, but as long as it has working bathroom, kitchen, and furnace, I have secured the loan. 

As long as it is the rare exception and is quickly remedied, nothing to worry about.

You have to report the income if you rent over 2weeks of the year but as long as you personally use the property for a set number of days you will remain in good standing.Which is correct? 

The Mills act provides us large property tax rebates as long as we continue to upkeep and preserve the exterior and look of the property from the street.

I'm not an expert, but I believe you can buy multiple "like kind" properties as long as the total exceeds the sales amount of your existing property.

Research the best option for your desired passivity, risk, and desired return.I would not have issues with the increased rate as long as 1) the increased LTV does not place you in an over leverage situation 2) you plan on investing the money in an investment that is likely to, over the long term, return significantly better than 3.5% (as the one investor indicated, do not use the money to buy a boat). 

But that's ok as long as you've been building your network of lenders.
