I stay motivated by looking towards a future where I don't have to sit in traffic for an hour every morning on the way to work, a future where I can buy plane tickets on a whim just because I can, or a future where I can go hiking every afternoon with my dog instead of sitting in a sterile lunch room at work.

Sell CA property and 1031 the entire amount into a single property, do not split the funds and buy a larger 6 unit or bigger in NC and enjoy the cash flow and stability.

We have around $2million kitty (little less than that).We have done investments before but they were around 60-70k, so this amount is way more than what have handled before.We still hold the previous investments but were wondering if :1) we should split that amount into 70k each and continue doing what we were doing (SFR)2) or should we step up our game split it into 3 tranche of 600k each.3) or just do 1 investment - no diversification.We have been investing for around 2 yrs now - learnt a lot from BP - returning to it after almost an year after applying my lessons from here.Looking for ideas/criticisms.I have other questions but i guess they will spring from responses below.

If I were in your shoes, I would ask all the other owners in that building to split the cost of a lawyer.

@Gordon F. unless you have a really high split on what you earn the wholesaler is using you. 

"Never Split the Difference" by Chris Voss, fantastic book on negotiating.

What type of splits or advice where we’re both protected and compensated appropriately.

I would love to buy you lunch sometime and pick your brain.  

In my eyes, I'm carrying a significant risk in the deal as well, so a fair split seems fair to me, but is this reasonable?

Total rent is $1845 (split by 4 [people] = $461.25) Additional bills at a flat rate: water, garbage, internet, and gardener, ($84 total if split by 4)Additional bills at a variable rate: PGE, housekeeper (TBD)-How should we charge the rent, as far as what bills to include in the base rent or charge separately?
