As long as the taxpayer remains the same for the investment property being sold and the one being purchased, you can satisfy your 1031 exchange.Even if you decide to sell as your single-member LLC and purchase your replacement property in your personal name, that would still be fine because you are ultimately the same taxpayer for both.

Maybe replace just some of the windows.4.  

My opinions.1) Yes sounds like a good plan, although I would allow your plan to be flexible.

Took 6 loads of a U Haul to empty the townhouse, pulled all the flooring, lighting, floorboards - the former owner had multiple pets - and replaced a good amount of subfloor that was quite smelly with cat pee.

Do an annual inspection, replace items before they break.

@Clayton Collins Sounds like you only talked to big banks like Wells and Chase, is that right?

The big box stores have stair treads you can use to replace some or all of your treads.

Are you going to be able to qualify for a loan on a new one with current rates given your W2 job and cash flow.Both mountain and beach are great options and both perform well (insurance isnt that bad when you cash flow a lot of STRs), however have their own complications, particularly if you're going to manage remotely from the triad.Personally, it sounds like you're doing well in your investing career and making good money.

But what I’ve learned the hard way is that sharing my plans with the wrong people can kill momentum before I even start.You’ll hear things like:“That sounds risky.”

Sounds about right.
