I would love to connect with you and discuss our experiences as we learn the tricks of the trade.

I hate re-trading. 

I'm not a tax professional at all by any means, but I chose to do a partnership because you can move assets in and out of your LLC without any tax consequences or something like that (please correct me if I am wrong). 

You could like in it for 2 years at least and trade up tax free.

@Tanner MarseyI also live in SD and have been investing in this market for 25 yrs.It matters how much you own and when you bought.I bought a bunch of condos in 2009 at a 50-60 discount in the last 10 yrs they Jane all gone up 2x+In the last 15 months I traded 2 for 26 units in KS MO.

This way  I can manage the property myself (with some help from PM, because I graduated from Business Administration) so that I can learn the trade inside out.

That's highly doubtful.There are trade offs for liquidity.If a fund is more liquid than others, it goes to follow they'll have more capital in instruments that are easy for the fund to liquidate (e.g. money market, CDs, short-term treasuries/munis).The ROI of all of those asset classes is negligible and (currently) below inflation. 

Also, one benefit of cost segregation is trading taxes now for taxes later but of thought of a different way it’s better than that.

Please explain in great details if you some of you have made that cross over, can it be done at any time or do you need the play the "rich dad poor dad" monopoly 4 green houses then trade up for the red hotel?

Even if nothing is for sale right now, I often find "dark trades" on RCA.
