What is a 1031 exchange?

I’ts becoming A DIFFICULT decision if I should sell or refinance them.The goal is to scale up and 1031 exchange these properties if the numbers are right since my refinance came in a little lower than I expected.Or to refinance and keep them and use the proceeds to ultimately find an added value property.

@Andrew M Hawkins I would say to be the cash behind someones deal in exchange for watching them.

This question is regarding a trailer park, however I think it is equally applicable to pretty much any 1031 exchange. 

He doesn't want to 1031 exchange it for anything else. 

The question is, should I sell this property and 1031 exchange it to 1 or more better performing properties? 

Your investors can certainly sell their rental properties and do a 1031 Exchange into shares of a DST.

If they offer services like pressure washing or pest control, you can negotiate to not raise the rent in exchange for there services (whatever they may be) for free for you each year or quarter.This is one of the creative ways you can negotiate with your tenant. 4) If they're going to move out soon anyway, just raise the rent with the next tenant and don't worry. 

My husband wants to sell a property (in his sole name) and purchase a new rental property using a 1031 exchange.

But here's a suggestion to answer your question:Focus on finding good deals for an experienced investor and then "sell" your deal in exchange for getting equity (or ownership) in the properties you find.By doing this, you do it with NO MONEY coming out of your pocket.You then rinse and repeat - until you have $50K cash or more in your bank account.
