Matthew,Yes, you would want to use those funds and do a 1031 exchange to avoid paying taxes on the cash or (boot) from the sale of the home. 

I pass all my expenses from insurance and property tax increases off onto my tenants.

Is this easily possible without much of a tax burden?

You would need a DSCR if you are self employed and don't have 2 yrs of tax of returns or cannot qualify for a conventional loan.

That's why we have tax-payer-funded attorneys to take on cases for free.

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

@Nicholas BetancourtYes, a separate bank and separate credit and debit cards will help with tracking income and expenses and will help with tax return preparation. 

They used both of their credit histories and income to qualify for the financing so that's what the underwriting is based on.But you also have to look at the tax implications.

When I received my 2023 taxes back from my tax preparer, I noticed that they included income from the DST's but did not include any depreciation. 

I do expired listing calls for one of the agents in the Charlotte area and do a finders fee if they decide to relist, but I have the opportunity first to buy it.
