We have a rental property in a city 2 hrs away but it’s pretty rundown and nearing the end of the lease with current tenant. Should we do a 1031 exchange with these terms: sell property for $1M (originally cost $550K), pay cash for $1M replacement property in our HCOL city that rents out for $4500/m? It’ll net ~$25K a year and we save on capital gains taxes from the sale… or just sell, pay the taxes and buy VTI? We don’t want to manage rentals outside of our city anymore.

I think I’m finally burnt out on agency life. What’s a logical next step? Freelance? In-house? A new career all together?

Sitting on two AWS vs McKinsey offers. Which would you take?

I know this isn’t a marriage therapy bowl, but my husband has a really terrible tendency of saying things like “you’re being really mean” and completely shutting down during a disagreement when i objectively am not being mean, just truthful or vocal about how i feel about something. It’s a really convenient argument for him because it enables him to either be the victim and me the villian, or forces me to concede my stance and not reach a true resolution. Any tips on dealing with the irrational?

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location. However, with todays prices and interest, will it make more sense to rent out our current home and rent a home ourselves vs. selling and buying immediately when we move? We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

I recently bought my 1st home in TX. I want to get into real estate and eventually own/rent out multiple homes. Are there any good recommendations/tips on books/articles/websites that others have used to get started?

I've read about HELOC and cash out refinance to get a 2nd home but articles are so scattered that it gets confusing which is better in terms of tax benefits and immediate costs, etc. Anything others have found helpful that summarized how to get started would be great!

So I am about to move to D.C this fall for work. I'm really interested in Real Estate and renting places out but don't know where to start.

Any good HELOC recommendations?
