I would first of all decide not to make any immediate decisions.

The answer is usually obvious if you can take the tax hit, but in your case assuming 5-7 years away from needing/wanting to distribute money to yourself, this is a decision you need to make with your tax advisor.

There is no decision to make.What does your lease say? 

This Spring the inspection scheduler "Beverly" retired and the whole program moved to a 3rd party contractor out of California who now handles scheduling (with the expected miscommunication and inability to make quick decisions resulting).I have been a supporter of LMHA and the Section 8 housing choice voucher program here in Toledo, Lucas County, Maumee, Perrysburg, and surrounding areas but the program really is now costing far more than we get out of it.

Don’t really want to stop that, but just looking for someone to coach or assist me through my options here so I make an informed decision! 

Thank you KC, These are excellent points that I'll be weighing over the next weeks as I make my final decision.

I would consult with a 1031 exchange expert on this, as they will provide you with the most accurate knowledge needed to make the best decision (assuming you go that route).Good luck!

Are there specific factors or trends you would suggest evaluating to make a more informed decision?

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck.

Before making any decisions or committing to anything, reach out for referrals and do some research on the company and the offer they are making.
