It works so long as property values (or rents) are increasing, but becomes much riskier if markets or rents decline.

As many as you want as long as you have deals.

Hi @Jennifer Bayhi Gennaro, You can structure the acquisition of the Replacement Property so that you (1) acquire in your individual names as 50/50 tenants in common and then contribute into your own LLC as long as it is considered to be a disregarded LLC. 

You can still tap into this as long as you have 2 years living there of the 5 years before sale and it's considered a primary residence.When I worked for the Navy at a Joint Base, I met a lot of military guys who used their accumulation of houses all over the country as their second retirement pension.

You can locate your office at the place you live as long as you can close it off and have minimal distractions from personal things.  

As long as the tenants pay the mortgage then hold it for 30 years and then count it as your retirement or sell it in a few years if the market keeps going up.
