But once you’ve crunched the numbers and found a good cash-flowing rental property, if the numbers make sense, I encourage you to dive right in.

I understand they can make our life a lot easier but is it worth it if it eats up a lot of our cash flow? 

You have to be able to have the full amount in cash within a few weeks of the auction.

What's the point of getting cash flow if you lose all your capital?

Here are a couple of ways you could structure the deal:Lease Option with Seller Financing: You could lease the property with an option to buy later, allowing you to rehab it while giving the sellers time to find a 1031 replacement property.Seller Financing with Deferred Payment: Structure the seller financing with no immediate payments, allowing you to refinance once the property is appraised, and the sellers can complete the 1031 exchange when ready.Escrow Holdback: Transfer the deed into an escrow account, giving you control without immediate transfer, so the sellers can take their time with the 1031.Third-Party Facilitation: Use a qualified intermediary to hold funds and facilitate the 1031 exchange while you refinance.These options allow flexibility for both you and the sellers.

Are you starting with some available capital or other investments that you can turn into cash to buy a deal?
