@Danny Ng - Happy to continue the conversation via DM or phone call to give you as clear an understanding of all the different tax profiles we deal with and how it can move the needle on needs and pricing.

That way you keep the $600/mo cash flow and tap some equity to go after the duplex or another property without losing your current asset.My Advice: A 1031 makes sense when the new property clearly moves the needle — better cash flow, better appreciation potential, or better portfolio fit.

You'll get better and faster at it, and the confidence you gain from getting good at analysis will give you the confidence to actually pull the trigger when you find the needle in the haystack. 3.

They have thumbed their noses at you.

I really thought this through and I truly think it's the only legit, enduring solution that threads the needle of best results for all on BP, and for BP Platform profitability (if it don't make $, it won't make sense for ownership and thus, it won't happen, right). 

@Brady Ascheman - No, if you are not offering the guests services that add to their convenience then there is no SE tax.

Not having the latter I find myself on a journey to build a portfolio not just for wealth's sake, but to move the proverbial needle on beautiful design and provide a more pleasant built environment for all!

I think you are talking very large projects need huge teams where I am talking mid sized value add deals that are to big for mom and pop type investors on their own but that are to small for big syndications to mess with because it doesnt move the needle for them.Where i am probably  off is in how I’m thinking about bringing in outside capital.

Quote from @Lorenzo Lopez: In terms of buying my first deal, I haven't been able to move the needle because, where I am, for example, small multifamily is trading at around 5.5% caps and rates are 6.5% .

If that changes the qualification enough to illicit "pent up demand", I am telling you it doesn't move the needle.
