If you decide to move forward with debt consolidation, make sure you carefully research the company you’re working with.

@Abigail Bennett, What you are referring to is what we like to call a consolidation exchange, when you sell multiple investment properties in a 1031 exchange and reinvest into larger investment properties.

Maybe consolidate several sales into a few purchases. 

I have clients who use separate subscriptions for each LLC, and others who manage multiple LLCs within one subscription.Some advisors recommend separate QBO subscriptions for every LLC — and that’s fair — while others find that consolidating bookkeeping in one subscription reduces costs and administrative work without sacrificing compliance or financial clarity.In general, a single LLC offers simplicity in bookkeeping, banking, and tax filing, but it also means your assets share the same liability exposure.

There are plenty of other options out there—like debt consolidation or simply grinding it out.Keep pushing forward!

Nice price consolidation BTW..

Or some catalyst that over-rights a consolidation. 

I do believe the business will continue to consolidate and more of the business will go to the bigger teams/realtors at the top.Could certainly happen.

When to 1031.Most investors pull the trigger when:They want to scale doors (1 house → 2–4+ units).They’ve maxed out appreciation and don’t see much upside left.They want to consolidate into stronger locations (sounds like you’re thinking this way with the “type B” town).Or when a property starts to feel like “lazy equity” — lots of value tied up but not enough cash-on-cash return.3.

These tools let applicants securely share their verified bank data—showing current balances, average monthly income, and recurring deposits—so you can get a clear, up-to-date view of their financial activity without relying solely on past credit.This approach can provide a fairer picture of affordability while maintaining compliance and consistency in your screening process.Here's another angle to look at this, if they have recently or are about to file bankruptcy, their debt will either be cleared or consolidated into a reasonable payback plan (Chapt 13).
