If you can claim tax free capital gains on even a portion, it may make more sense than an exchange.

All those areas are good to invest in but one size doesn't fit all.

Zillows prices are based on “comps” hence they only compare the property to other similar sized properties.

Hello all, I'm looking to start investing in small-medium sized apartment complexes and I'm trying to figure out the best way to set up a business entity.

I am currently residing in Bulgaria, Varna, a mid-sized city on the Black Sea coast (500 thousand people, third by size in the country).My goal is to buy an apartment to rent.

Does anyone have recommendations for this small to medium sized project? 

Does this satisfy the requirement that the investment portion of the property (33% or $250,000) be paid for with exchange funds while the residential portion of the property (66% or $500,000) be paid for with only non-exchange funds—in this case, the funds borrowed from the lender?

I don't have the exact number/percent off the top of my head but want to say it was in the neighborhood of 10 thousand dollars for a pretty modestly sized/priced SFH.

Speak to a loan originator and work backwards from target purchase price, to loan amount, to monthly PITI payment, to what she'd need to show to qualify.Doubt you'll be able to pay her enough for her to qualify for a decent loan size:(You're also going to increase the amount of taxes you pay.

If you are purchasing a new house and renting out your old house you should be able to consider the rental income, or at least a portion of it, as part of our DTI.
