I spoke to my accountant about doing a 1031 exchange.

Then I might pay some bills, buy stocks, the balance drops to 90k.

Does the stock market crash freezing them or something

As I look to scale and increase my purchasing, I'm seeking additional private money to help fund deals in exchange for a set % return. 

If you also have a ton of stock sales, businesses, itemized deductions ect- that all comes into play. 

If there is any dip in activity in the Gatlinburg RE market, look at it as a gift to get in at an even better yield than you had a week ago.STRs aren’t without their pitfalls, but the returns are better than the stock market can deliver, and I can watch the Dan Patrick show every morning instead of the daily “what if’s” on CNBC.

The customer informed me that he can no longer do the project , wishes to cancel and get his deposit back , says the recent stock market drop hit him hard and he can no longer afford to do the addition . 

I have a rental in Aurora, CO that I’m planning on doing a 1031 exchange on.

My income is roughly $170,000 pre-tax from my W2 job including salary, bonus and stock + income from my properties.

I'm way to ignorant about 401k and stock markets to make an informed judgment on what i should do.
