In exchange for their help I offer what Im good at; website creation and development, graphic design, anything music related (jingles, background audio etc, music tracks), boots on the ground if needed.

Bass expects that the firm’s downfall will be bankruptcy, calling UDF “a billion dollar house of cards” that “is now on the verge of collapse.”UDF has been under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission since April 2014, the company disclosed in December, responding to what it called “market rumors” and “misleading anonymous posts.”

Do your research and buy in an area that has a better than average chance for appreciation so you can trade up later for a "better" property (whatever that means to you) using a 1031 exchange or owner-occupied tax break for capital gains (if that's what you want to do).  

Today I spoke with a past client who has multi units in LB and wants to trade up in a 1031 exchange  and has nothing to go into in the  $3 to 4 million range.

Just kind of way for everyone in this area to meet and exchange ideas as well as network (of course).Please let me know!

Currently I am only allowed to add $5500 per year.3 If I sell the property to upgrade, would I have to do a 1031 exchange even though it is already in a tax deferred account?

I have a feeling you're leaving out a few major ones in your calculations.To your question on how to value a property: any formulaic way of computing value is going to be inaccurate, as even the most precise require inputs that are a little bit of guesswork (such as prevailing cap-rate for your product type in that neighborhood.)There are some often "rules of thumb" that people use, which are usually used to pass the initial "smell test", but as you will see, will only give you ballpark accuracy.In roughly increasing accuracy and precision:1) Price-Per-Door: see what other multi-family units have sold at, and divide by the number of units.

This was my first 1031 exchange.

Hi @Debbie Cost, The California Franchise Tax Board issued Notice 2019-05 stating installment sale "arrangements" designed to defer taxes when a 1031 Exchange fails will not defer taxes.

I have a good understanding of the 1031 exchange but have this question.
