I prefer to make my large gains inside my ROTH IRA which is an LLC.This keeps me from paying tax on money my IRA makes.My ROTH owns several rental properties that it bought cheap and fixed up.

If you are a hands on learner, I suggest going to work for a developer or contractor that works with developers so you can gain hands on experience.

As you gain more experience they may let you only put 10% down. 

First thing is gaining knowledge and experience in the asset class you'll be purchasing.

There is definitely going to be higher interest rates in the future and at some point the lines will cross between your lower rate due to a future higher score and higher rates due to fed movements.Approx. 640, but I could easily get it to 720 if I paid down my credit cards, but I intentionally haven’t been as I’ve been using that money to invest (which was a good idea as I have had 600% gains this year).

This may or may not impact rental returns, but I assume it will limit equity gains in the future.  

You need to be prepared for this as you gain more and more success.  

Obviously, only makes sense to defer gains under 1031 if someone has more than the $500k capital gains that a married couple could already exclude.
