Like in the example of buying a quad, living in one, rehabbing the rest, increasing rents for the rehabbed unit, using the GMR for the area to find a new valuation price for the quad, refinancing, buying another unit, waiting for another year, monitoring the GMR and selling the first unit at a high appreciation, using the proceeds towards a 1031 exchange and repeating the process.

Hi @Joel Duguay, if you're an accredited investor you might consider reinvestment (1031 Exchange) into DSTs .

A friendly fellow we usually get information from in exchange for farm fresh eggs and an occasional streak.

You would still need to find either a PM or a rental agent who could handle tenants, but most of your maintenance and capex is taken care of.For option 2, since its still real estate in the US, you could do a 1031 exchange which makes it even more attractive.I'm very glad to hear you haven't just been scammed out of $50K.  

So in your example, if your ROE is only 5%, and you have other investment opportunities that can make more than 5% (ideally 10% or 15% or higher), then it is time to 1031 exchange into another property, or sell and put the money towards another type of investment.Put simply: if your ROE is LESS than the ROI of another investment opportunity, it is time to consider selling.Obviously you would also want to take transaction costs and taxes into account as well.

@Michael Yenny The safest ways to get crypto back loan without cashing out your holdings is usually by using a well-established exchange like Blockfi.

Been hearing this topic being whispered around and wanted to hear everyone’s thoughts:Thoughts on Crypto currency entering the real estate world and as a form of payment in the future?
