If you sell for 300 and are buying for only 100 then it is doubtful that the 1031 would result in any tax savings to you.However, if you were to sell the lot for 300K using a 1031 exchange and buy the other lot for 100K and then buy another piece of investment property for 200K then you would recognize no gain on the sale and would have no tax due.Depending on what the specifics of your situation are and what your goals are it would be worth your time to chat off line with a professional.

Can't wait to chat!

At some point, you will want to pick up the phone and chat with one or more of the advisory firms that offer such plans to learn the in's and out's of how to successfully deploy your retirement capital into real estate.  

I'm supposed to either guess, or pry it out of them.3) Today, as a result of my post and being online so much (I worked from home this time), I received a chat message asking if I'd like to fund a deal... no further information!  

  $10k with zero due diligence on a house you havent seen is pretty silly.I use Halperin and Lyman for my closings, they are investor friendly and good to work with,  you could call them and maybe chat with one of the attorneys, but I'd just laugh at this guy.

I was chatting with a friend and this topic came up.

@Dawn Aotani I have a property management company check out MJP Management online and PM me if you want to chat.

BUT, some of the best networking I do is by going to the real estate auctions in town and just chatting with other investors. 

I look forward to chatting and possibly meeting with some of you on here!.

I'm a recent transplant but have been building a US portfolio for the last couple of years - would love to connect with some local folks to chat real estate.Thanks!
