I have 2-3 more evictions planned next week.

@Jacob Lopez, as others noted, house hacking is not really a cash flow play, in a traditional sense, since you are effectively removing 33-50% of the property from the rent roll.If you plan on living in a unit for a couple years, then holding longer as an investment, I would underwrite it as an investment.

For estate planning purposes, we want to change the title to a revocable trust where my husband and I are the trustees. will this have a negative tax implication for 1031 purposes if we want to sell these and purchase properties prior to my husband's passing?

Provide the buyer the county planning contacts, keep a copy of the job card.
