I recognize that this topic may seem somewhat unconventional given your standing, but I'm hopeful that your guidance can set me on the right path.

So here we are hoping to find other like minded individuals with the same goals.  

I do not mean to scare you but just hoping you quadruple check and confirm your numbers as I know a lot of people struggling in that market.

I will also take out all carpet if any and replace it with LVP floorings that way when you are ready to sell it you will only have to paint the house and minor repairs to put it on the market for sale.I hope that helps.Best regard,Lily Rodriguez - Investor friendly Broker

Like Bill said above, it doesn't cost anything to get a quote to put in central HVAC and weigh your options.Just my two cents...hope that helps!

Hopefully, they can find a purchaser nationwide versus local so pricing is competitive and they get the best price/terms possible.  

Things that i've noticed:* the north oakland area (where my home is located) may have lost its attractiveness (car break-ins, crazy people, etc) * there are a lot new condo constructions that are offering crazy specials, a friend had his property (a condo) vacant for 3 months.I dont know how to analyze the situation , there are a couple of options:1) Suck it up until April, wait until someone rents in may2) Sell the home - i dont have high hopes, the home had a redfin estimate of 1.4 mill at some point, it now has an estimate of 1.1 mill, but i dont think i'll get more than 1 mill if i'm lucky.

This was not one of the things we discussed though and was hoping to hear from investors who did this in a 1031 and how they managed to pull it off.

Often, they may volunteer a higher amount than you were hoping for.

Every week I bring you a brief, hopefully insightful, dive into real estate and financial markets, for all you tubular dudes and dudettes out there.
