We just completed a 1031 exchange last month, sold a rental property that was titled in my personal name, ended up buying two rental properties for cash as replacement properties in my personal name through the 1031.

The seller quit claimed us the property in exchange for paying off their mortgage after we calculated that a traditional purchase would have tanked the deal with too many costs to be able to use the BRR (no rehab and already rented) method. 97% of initial investment returned at refinance.What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

We bought bigger using 1031 exchanges.

@Brian Adams In your opinion, would it work for a passive investor in a syndication on an apartment complex, in exchange for the money invested receive the syndicator's portion of tax write offs for the project instead of return of capital?

Because of the laws and different currencies I don’t think Refinancing my money out will work.

Hello,Can someone please explain how I go about re investing money with a 1031 exchange?

Now, I have a question about becoming a qualified intermediary for 1031 exchanges.

I already own a 50% stake in Property 2, so I would own 100% of Property 2 after the exchange.

Do keep reading and participating in the forums.You might also find a local, seasoned, successful real estate investor and see if s/he will allow to you to tag along and learn in exchange for offering some skill (accounting, carpentry, landscaping, etc) you can contribute ... or, general labour.

So far impressed but no money exchanged yet.
