Do your research and buy in an area that has a better than average chance for appreciation so you can trade up later for a "better" property (whatever that means to you) using a 1031 exchange or owner-occupied tax break for capital gains (if that's what you want to do).  

Today I spoke with a past client who has multi units in LB and wants to trade up in a 1031 exchange  and has nothing to go into in the  $3 to 4 million range.

Just kind of way for everyone in this area to meet and exchange ideas as well as network (of course).Please let me know!

Currently I am only allowed to add $5500 per year.3 If I sell the property to upgrade, would I have to do a 1031 exchange even though it is already in a tax deferred account?

This was my first 1031 exchange.

Hi @Debbie Cost, The California Franchise Tax Board issued Notice 2019-05 stating installment sale "arrangements" designed to defer taxes when a 1031 Exchange fails will not defer taxes.

I have a good understanding of the 1031 exchange but have this question.

Plus, no charge to the tenants, in exchange for free laundry service.  

What’s weird is I’m seeing some foreign money buying say a $400k house that rents for $2800.

Which is essentially selling the property without having to pay taxes or 1031 exchange?
