Although 1031s are still getting done, takes more planning in this current market 

They want to sell all of them at once, and not piece meal them out individually, so they are asking for less than market value.The offer is 6 homes 5 of which currently have renters, for $400,000.

I'm currently looking at doing the same thing. except buying one that already exists.

Verse a cashout refinance where you'd have your new higher rate on the total amount (Current 1st + New Cash).- This unlocks cash to allow you to buy a new larger home for your growing family(congrats) with 5% down (Since it's a primary residence)- This allows you to exit the current home and cash in on the $600 cashflow differential(minus the monthly payment of the HELOC, minus maintenance and plus tax savings ).Could be a strategy that works well for you, please feel free to reach out if you want to talk shop and run the #s.Zach

BUT they go into what they're currently working on, what/who they're seeking at this event, and I get a good sense of where they're at along their journey.One of the best books I read on the subject of effective networking/relationship building was Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazi.
