Multifamily properties
for trade
Duplexes, triplexes, and apartment buildings offered by investors restructuring portfolios without a brokered sale — and often without a taxable one.
What sets the price
NOI
Net operating income — verified, not pro forma
Cap rate
What income trades for in this market
Rent roll
Real tenants, confirmed by estoppels
Rebalance without liquidating
Multifamily property owners use GoSwap to restructure their real estate portfolios without cash transactions. Swapping a duplex for commercial space, or a four-unit for raw land, allows investors to shift strategy without triggering a traditional sale event.
The strategy moves behind these listings
Portfolio rebalancing — moving from residential to commercial or industrial without liquidating
1031-structured exchanges between qualifying investment properties can defer capital gains
Owners burned out on tenant management trading income property for lower-maintenance assets
Developers acquiring multifamily buildings by offering single-family inventory or land in exchange
Active multifamily trade listings
The rent roll is the asset
Title transfers by deed, but because it’s an income property the leases, security deposits, and tenant relationships convey too. Verify income like the deal depends on it — because it does.
Estoppels + deposits
Verify the rent roll with tenant estoppel certificates and bank deposits
Leases + trailing-12
Review all leases, security-deposit ledgers, and the trailing-12 operating statements
Every unit, not a model
Inspect major systems across every unit, not just a model unit
Zoning + C of O
Confirm zoning and the certificate of occupancy for the unit count
Deal killer: trusting a pro-forma rent roll. Below-market or ghost tenants can inflate the value of an income property you’re trading into.
Restructurings we see
A duplex in a mid-size city traded for a retail storefront in the same area, shifting from residential to commercial income
A four-unit apartment building swapped for a combination of land and a single-family home, simplifying the portfolio
A triplex traded for a business that generates comparable income but requires less property management
The 1031 angle
Investment multifamily is a classic 1031 candidate: exchange into qualifying investment property through a Qualified Intermediary within IRS timelines and capital gains can be deferred. Depreciation recapture applies either way — loop in a CPA before you agree on structure, not after.
