Take a look at below options and let me know which might be best. 1031 would keep 19.5k in additional deferred taxes to be used for new possible property, but easier said than done.option a: 1031 into another SFH property for 175-180 range with a mortgage and get mortgage for remaining amount. 20k mortgage seems like a waste.option b: eat the 20k tax and use a straight sale of property.

I believe you are confused.....the strategy you are talking about is some version of Velocity Banking (which is some made up name for it by the Renatus group) and it involves getting a heloc on a property you already own, in addition to your first mtg..  

Ryan- thanks for the additional insight.

So, if the first 3 deals were all 70/30, then your partner came up with additional capital for the 4th deal, I could spin up a new Series, and that series could have its shares held in a different split.As for saving all the cash flow, that's one approach.

I would gladly pay for additional options that they could offer but they seem to work fine for what I need.  

If you go 4 or more you may need additional mechanical equipment.After having many companies give me quotes, I chose one that would do all of the electrical and AC work under one roof.

However, I'm looking to add another Bed &/or Bath to my top unit as it's 1400 sq ft. in order to increase the rent and overall house value.One note is that I'm currently required to manage the property myself in order to break even on cash flow, so I'm really counting on raising the rent to market value and even putting additional rooms to force appreciation and rents even further.

With vacation rentals (especially in upscale, high-revenue areas on the beach) amenities such as pools, lazy rivers, landscaped grounds, exercise areas, etc are key in attracting year-round visitors.

Well that fine came along with accrued interest and an additional $5 per day.I bought the house for 19k (which was the fine owed to the city).

Once that situation is settled I'm open to additional investments on the Missouri side.
