Judicial Reports give great information on their bank loan and any other recognized liens on the property.4.

If you’re personable and motivated people will recognize that and want to teach you. 

They also do not recognize the 1031 exchange. 

@Ben Goodall If you do a complete 1031 exchange you will not recognize a gain. 

With a 1031, you are reqyired to place every dollar from the sale.Finally, the investment in the OZ does not need to be real property, but could be a company that generates x% of revenue in OZ.Just make sure the location is recognized by the IRS as a Qualified Opportunity Zone.

Last but not least in the "why DSM" bucket you have your traditional three motivators: low cost of living/affordable housing, access to well-paying jobs, relatively safe neighborhoods, and decent schools (I recognize, that is technically four and a half but I am rolling with it).

People who live and work here are finding it harder to afford rents as well as buying homes.Finding properties in the outer areas will definitely help with cashflow, but recognize that Canyon county has higher property taxes for non-owner occupied properties. 

I recognized quickly that I couldn't continue to scale this thing by myself, so I brought in a partner who had the same vision and work ethic as me.

Recognize that your partner is bringing the means to the table. 

Since 2006 I have built and led a nationally recognized consultancy that has served over 8000 entities.
