Makes sense that wraps wouldn't work like a 1031 exchange.

Where some old guy who is a financial advisor just tell you to avoid all types of debt (even in real estate) and to invest only in a diversified stock portfolio - which is exactly their business.

I think you would be better off working with someone and your cash to find a flip and make 9-10% unless you can get the owner to hold some of the paper in exchange for time to get the rents up and even then, I would look to push them to cover your taxes in a month's time.

How soon do you think RE will match the decline of stock market in lieu of the Coronavirus outbreak?

With the stock market sell-off,should that favor real estate buyers short term?

@David West if you sell you should 1031 Exchange for tax purposes. 

This is the theory that applies to investing in stocks with your 401(k), and it applies to real estate as well. 

They all have data exchange ageeements with the various mls’.

@Jeremy Clarke only way to avoid Capital gains are a 1031 exchange or putting the gains into an opportunity zone.

I can keep my free cash in the stock market.
