@Mel Rosario, It really depends on what aligns best with your personal goals, but if you’re considering a 1031 exchange, here are some practical options you might explore that can benefit you greatly as you grow your portfolio:• Trade Up to Larger Multi-Family or Commercial Properties: Use the equity in your paid-off rentals to exchange into bigger or more scalable assets, leveraging better economies of scale and potentially higher cash flow.• Diversify by Market or Property Type: Swap your current properties for investments in different geographic markets or asset classes (e.g., from single-family homes to apartment complexes, self-storage, or triple-net lease retail properties) to spread out risk and tap into new growth opportunities.• Consolidate Properties: If you have several single-family rentals, you could exchange multiple of them into a single, higher-value asset.
