I'm trying to evaluate if we should keep the property or sell it/1031 exchange into another investment, but I'm struggling to figure out how to do the analysis.Initial Purchase: $65,000 (Cash)Estimated market value: $250-270k - We'd clear $200-250k if we sold.Current Rental Income (after expenses): ~$1,417My gut tells me that we can leverage the proceeds into higher cash flowing investments, but I don't know how to do the math.

Someone will lend at a 33% LTV.All of this said, it sounds like the Trustee would actually like to say invested somehow.Option 2, put the house in a trust or LLC and let the rent be divided amongst the grandchildren:-All grandchildren remain owners of the property and the monthly income of $1,500(minus expenses) is split amongst the 6 grandchildren.I will warn that option 2 is more likely to result in long-term drama and likely some anamosity among the family members. 

I am self employed though so not consistent income. 

The book is saying open up multiple accounts for your business for the purposes of charitable giving, owner income, taxes, paying down bad debt, etc.

Hi guys,I love to see all of the success stories but I have noticed I just don't have the income to keep investing past 1 property. 

There is a reason I don’t invest in CA at all…Regarding AB 968, as you implied with the beginning of your comment, this should provide protection to end buyers, or at least provide them easy resources and contacts to reduce potential ownership headaches (example: “hey I accidentally broke a bathroom tile, can you just tell me where it was ordered from so I can go get another one?”).

The last time I did something like that (I'm in Tampa), I had to pay a reduced amount.

Is it going to be a sign gig while investing or your main source of income?

I do not want spend my W2 income to cover house mortgages, to not have pressure if things like layoffs will happen, so my plan is to buy house in a good neighborhood that may have appreciation and some minimal cash flow after all expenses (management, maintenance and vacation).
