Trading up in this way will allow you to take advantage of “scale”, your rents will be higher, your maintenance will likely be lower. 

Get a number from CPA.If you are buying something else, you may do well trading the created note a face with out a discount. 

I had the TD Ameritrade app but that was to easy to day trade and I got burned a couple of times trading.

Originally posted by @Alex Mao:@Jay Hinrichs Good valid pointAnd I had bay area investor who bought 4 plexs in PHX  for 350 k each and in 2010 they were trading for under 100k each.. when they go hundred % vacant and stay that way for more than a year.. you lose them. 

You just need to gently make them understand the situation.The analogy is trying to trade your used car in at a dealership.

I am now back looking for more places as I saved up and am also trading up through 1031 exchanges.

Coffeyville Kansas, $9500 will buy a person a 3BR with CH/A in a decent neighborhood.If they can do a trade like welding, pipefitting or electrical work; there are plenty of job opportunities at the local refinery.

I’ll trade that over bout anything.

It would be way to easy to do something like swing a hammer on this property, which would be prohibited if your SDIRA invested.

My problem / opportunity is: I have a third deal that I can no longer afford to pull off with existing financing and I fear 3 houses at the same time is more than I swing sanely, even if I figured out the money side of things.The House:  I have a verbal contract on a house in a gentrifying neighborhood in LaGrange I have been targeting, right next to my existing rental house.
