Harley shares how he got started buying rent-ready condos off the MLS. Those properties appreciated over a few years, but rents didn't appreciate as quickly as the property values. Eventually, Harley wasn't getting a good return on his equity. He decided to sell his condos using a 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange and trade up better properties that generate more cash flow. For example, he took a property that was rented for $1,750/month and exchanged it for a property that generates $10,500/month. That's an increase of $8,750 a month! https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode428
