In today’s Throwback Thursday episode, Marco dives into a great question from listener John, who wants to know when it actually makes sense to sell a rental property—especially through a 1031 exchange—and reinvest in a stronger market. Marco breaks down the few, but important, scenarios where selling is smart: major market shifts like job or population declines, a weakening rent-to-value ratio that drags down cash flow, and the big one many investors forget—when your depreciation clock runs out after 27.5 years. He also explains how to compare your current property’s performance with what your equity could earn elsewhere, and why transaction costs matter but rarely change the big picture. If you’re wondering whether to hold, sell, or shift your portfolio for better returns, this episode gives you the clear framework you need.
