1031 Exchange into San Francisco Vacation Rental Condo

I just helped some clients of mine sell their Sunnyvale rental duplex and enact a 1031 tax deferred exchange into their dream location - a stunning condo in San Francisco. This will be a medium term exist strategy for them. They will initially rent out the condo for at least one year and then convert the use later to either their principle residence or to a vacation rental. With the latter strategy - which they could do right away - they would be allowed 14 days of personal use per year and the rest of the time they can rent it through a vacation rental company to tourists. Many times if you achieve only 50% occupancy with the much higher daily rates charged, the investment can be a home run. I have a similar set up in Sitges, Spain and it has been a wonderful investment with very little management from me.

CCIM - what does it stand for?

Certified Commercial Investment Member - essentially this is a Realtor designation given to those agents who have been taught how to analyze commercial and investment property. There are four one week courses - financial analysis, user decision analysis, market analysis and investment analysis. A candidate for the designation also must submit a portfolio of completed transactions with their applicable analysis work done. Finally the candidate must pass a national exam given only twice per year at the CCIM bi-annual conventions. Perhaps some 10% of all commercial agents ever achieve this designation. Those who do are assuredly experts in their trade. Whenever I look in different markets for help on transactions, I seek out other CCIM's for their deep knowledge.
