On a separate note, I would seriously consider disposing of those SFRs and using a 1031 exchange to get into this or another 5+ MRF.

Connect with people on Biggerpockets, exchange emails, and hop on the phone with them.

They could have an exception for emergencies like the monoxide detectors are not installed or if they are and monoxide is leaking into the house from a cracked heat exchanger or non functional flue liner leading to an emergency safety situation and you were unavailable and didn't respond. 

To not at least consider appreciation would be like not considering the future appreciation potential of a stock. 

Sure, you are trading active vs capital gains tax rates and if you defer the gains using a 1031 exchange this all makes more sense.

There are funds that allow you to contribute the assets to the fund in exchange for ownership.

.), but I was just wondering if any of you use Turbotax to do your taxes that involves 1031 exchange.I called Turbotax.. the customer service cant really help and keep referring that I need to upgrade to Turbotax Live (pay more money).Here is my issue:In the Wage & Income Section, Under Rental Properties, I have indicated that I have 1031 Exchange (like-kind exchange) in 2019.

Definitely much faster than meeting up with people and exchanging cash, checks, etc.

Stock market (index funds) return an average 7.5% adjusted for inflation so I believe if you're doing REI, at least shoot for something higher than the market. 

Sell my investment property and do a 1031 exchange to purchase my primary home here in Hawaii (if I’m able to do that)Any other options that would be good in my situation?
