And maintain your 1031 exchange capital gains and recapture tax breaks as well. 

You can only 1031 exchange long term rental "Investment Properties" and property that is used for business "Owner Occupied".However, since this is hypothetical, if the IRS allowed you to 1031 flip properties, then you would pay taxes at your capital gains rate (once you sold the last property and didn't replace it) on all the gain from all the properties and 25% on any depreciation taken during the the hold periods.

@Tarik TurnerYes, lots of confusion as I am just gaining information and new to all of this.

Hello - I am looking to gain new policies (or at least, quotes) on my properties.

What is capital gain tax rate on sale of rental property?

I see SLC as being an appreciation gain market.

Use this to gain experience as to what you can do next time to avoid this, either on the tenant screening end or on the preparing the unit.

I'd like to gain a marketable skill to add value to an investment team, or to an investor who'd be willing to share some knowledge. 

Offering to intern for free is a great way to get your foot in the door and gain some knowledge

I think I may ride the ship for a couple of more years to gain the equity and get the 70% LTV cash out to accomplish the goals above.
