Her husband has cancer, so she's looking to sell the building to be able to retire, and spend more time with him.

Do many of you see upsides to mixing up your portfolio meaning short-term properties looking for instant cash flow adding fix and flips and holding for long term appreciation or even goals extending further of paying off these properties and holding for long term retirement or do you see if it's better to stick to one of these and go all in and make that the only strategy you use?

Not the "retire by 40 and travel the world" kind but more of the "your tenant will try and do everything possible to get out of paying rent" kind.

Although this will be a spec build, so to speak (as I plan to sell both units after construction), I have owned this property for more than 20 years and have rented it the last 8 years.I also plan to do a 1031 exchange with the proceeds, to purchase a like rental somewhere on the peninsula (and perhaps move into for retirement).I do not do this for a living, and this is the only property I own besides my primary residence.With the above in mind, will the donation be applied to my income taxes under Schedule A, or somehow applied to the basis of the replacement 1031 home?
