This is a very effective way to defer capital gains like a 1031 that is not often discussed. 

She left to go to work while her husband was still present watching TV. 

To defer taxes, can I use a 1031 exchange.

@Amanda Thompson If the lease is silent on the issue, you need to defer to state law with regard to deposits.

It sounds like you have already done this part and came up with an investable amount.The end goal - This is usually something like $10,000/Mo. income, in present value dollars.Time frame - The shorter your time frame to reach your goal, the more initial capital and credit you will need.For the rest of this post, I will assume that you want to create a reliable passive income stream that you will not outlive.

I am super excited about all the possibilities out there and in the process of putting a plan together with the goal of purchasing a rental property in 2022 (Brrrr) but recently i was presented with the opportunity to work for a year with a Property Management company and i am not sure if this will derail me and waste my time or it will help me gain some valuable experience once i start acquiring my own properties.

If you have a VA loan, you are not what a lot of 4-plex sellers are looking for if they know there is deferred maintenance and it will be a problem with the VA inspections.

You can sell it and purchase a property of equal or higher value and by doing the 1031 process you get to defer all tax on gain and depreciation recapture.Both of these criteria are met it sounds like. 

They need to understand that the strategy, whether its cash flow or appreciation or the buy low and add value (where the value add is in every property), to know what your goals are and then present you with opportunities.
