The reason I bring this up is many people who sold a property for $700k after closing costs with a $360k mortgage and would say they have $340k in proceeds for a 1031 exchange.

Quote from @Keith Meyer: Hi All,I'm looking to see if anyone knows of a calculator/modeling tool which can help me compare the benefits of selling a property with these four options:Sell and pay capital gains/depreciation recapture upfrontPerform 1031 exchange into new property, defer taxesSell on Seller Carryback Installment Sale, defer taxesSell on Monetized Installment Sale, defer taxesSurprisingly I couldn't find anything online which was very helpful.

@Nate Edwards, It's called exactly what you termed - a consolidation exchange. 

@Lisa Lucero, what you are referring to is what we call a diversification exchange, when you sell one investment property and 1031 exchange into multiple smaller investment properties.

A 9–10% cap rate with a 1.6 DSCR is strong, especially using 1031 equity.

For those of you who do a lot of these, what’s the gain where you see people utilizing 1031 exchanges?

If you and your spouse are doing a 1031 exchange and plan to move the property into an LLC, it can still qualify as long as the ownership stays the same before and after the exchange.

So if you use a 1031 exchange to buy the land. 

You can’t buy the land before the exchange because you need to do the exchange for the land and/or building.

I’ve actually had clients come to me after trying to report their 1031 exchange using TurboTax, and I’ve noticed they often miss key details or enter things incorrectly.
