It complicates things but at some point I'll have to go for it and put the past aside.

If is more complicated than that actually … the dividend yield of s&p500 was and is 5 percent.Now cd offers 5% , which basically return of not spending cash is equal to return of investment from working / business activity

Reverse exchanges are complicated, expensive transactions that have not had specific procedures fully approved by the IRS.

The IRS also says “you can choose to treat any debt secured by your qualified home as not secured by the home.”So... this leads to interest tracing rules which are not complicated but it begs more questions-What's the land for?

I've read several books, listen to several podcasts, but the market analysis question seems to be answered vaguely (research growth, rent comparables, job opportunities, etc) Am I making it more complicated?

The advice of the prior two posters: "speak to your CPA" is spot on.If you are investing in syndications that have activity in states outside your own, your tax situation is sufficiently complicated to onboard a professional.

The complication is the liens.
