An eight unit apartment complex that its pretty dated.

I have been seeing a few areas that have (or will have) large "luxury" apartment complexes going up. 

I have a software development background and had worked on simulators (for traffic analysis) many years ago, so it seemed like a natural way to become more familiar with the interrelationship of various real estate metrics and produce a usable tool.Hi Roy,I'm curious how complex your modelling goes when evaluating the sensitivity of some of your input variables?

We currently have no loans outstanding on any of the props.What I think we should do next is consolidate these props and use the money we could get from selling them all as a down payment for a much larger, perhaps multi unit apartment complex.

I was recently in discussions with a management company in Charlotte for my 11 unit apartment complex in Gastonia. 

, but we still cannot cherry pick pick the appraiser on a per-property per-appraisal basis, and the laws of economics still apply to everyone.However when we know it is a complex order that will require regression analysis, comping comps, a lot of historical research, statistics-based time travel to extrapolate forward in time to the present, etc, we have the option of putting out there that we (& by we, I mean the consumer) are willing to pay more, and they can take their sweet time doing it. 

To do so, I will liquidate a good chunk of my holdings and 1031 those gains into maybe 3-30 unit complexes.
