.: I read an interesting article not long ago considering how sort of "good intentions" lead to potentially bad/undesired results. 

How would we scale this or potentially 1031 exchange into a larger deal (commercial)?

Seller finance and reverse contingency are some potential options but both are tough to get in today's market, although not impossible.

I have an questionable potential tenant and I am a bit leery and it lead me to this questions.

@Monil ShahUnless the buddy is also willing to sign up for taking any potential loss, they aren't an equity investor. 

It can potentially limit your buyers when/if you go to sell.

There’s still a housing shortage and the upside potential for appreciation is excellence!

It seems like many folks get unnerved about the potential adverse tax effect of a real property sale because they only consider the transaction in isolation rather than taking into account their total situation (carryover capital/passive losses). 

All kinds of potential in SJ, just invest in the right building in the right areas.

If you do 1031 exchange multiple times, do you pay taxes on the profit of only the last sold property or do you have to pay taxes on the total potential profits of all properties.
