I run a real estate brokerage in a couple different states that specializes in investing and property management.

I get asked often about the difference between DSTs and 1031s, so I wrote up this quick comparison.

In a different area in the Panhandle, If there 300 beaxhfront two and three bedroom condos within a 1/2 mile then they may pull $60k while a 5 bedroom with a private pool 1/4 mile from the beach might pull $225k while purchase price is only 20% more and no hoa fees.5.

My goals are different - my STRs are investments that I want to maximize my return on.  

"Reasonable compensation" and 60/40 are two completely different things, as you well know.

I’d like to touch base with someone in the field as I have some questions as it pertains to the job itself and what any similarities/differences to a PA building code inspector might be.Any help or pointing in the right direction is greatly appreciated!

.- $968 difference paid out over 12 months would be $80.60 per month MORE.The mortgage company is claiming that I owe $3,000 MORE in escrow and is charging me an additional $250 per month.I checked with them and I've NEVER missed a payment and have been up to date this whole time.They say its not a mistake but couldn't explain why I owed $3000 more instead of $968 more for the year.Am I missing something? 

These are two very different and separate loans (completely independent of each other, I think it is safe to say), with entirely different parties and collateral.The unit owner's mortgage, originated prior to 2017, with a current balance of $800,000, I would think, should be totally exempt from the $750,000 limit. 

Just looking at either renting it out or open up a heloc on it an start with a different house? 

It can be different everywhere.
