Should I do an 1031 exchange to get a multiple property like duplex?

Ultimately I think there's multiple paths that could work for me.

Hey everyone,I’ve been hearing more about co-living as an investment strategy — where multiple tenants rent out individual rooms in a single property, often sharing common spaces like kitchens and living rooms.I’m curious if anyone here in the St.

Good income, no debt, solid retirement base.A CPA can help accelerate your growth on the tax side, but it may make sense to engage once you are closer to closing on a property.

At the very least, I hope that pursuing legal action will give the contractor pause before engaging in similar conduct with other clients.That said, there are certainly lessons learned from this experience that I will take with me going forward.

Engaging in forums, attending workshops, and participating in local real estate meetups can also be incredibly valuable.

Other than those 50 mortgages I had no other debt, no car loans despite having multiple cars, no credit car debt, that wasn't paid off every month and no student debt.

Buyers who are close to the risk tend to engage earlier and more decisively, whereas longer runway without structure can actually slow clarity.At the end of the day, the most workable deals seem to be the ones where sellers get confidence the buyer is serious, and buyers get enough early clarity to make real decisions — even if full approvals are still a way out.

I'm based in NYC, and most of the properties I manage are older but still highly rentable so I never engaged with many rehab projects that required financing but curious what others are seeing.

And it does not even have to be your own fault: repositioning a MF is not easy, renovation cost can explode in an unexpected way, contractors stand you up and run with your down payment leaving you with unrentable units, negative cash flow, leading to NOI loss, now you are bleeding cash and the property value does not support the loan anymore...Start with a few 1-4 family units, build a portfolio, there is a lot for you to learn in multiple categories.
