Your job is to listen, take notes and show that you are actually serious about expanding your knowledge base and network. 

Have you thought about expanding your area out of town a bit?

I am a realtor and having been thinking about expanding my services to include STR/Airbnb management for my clients. 

I’ve thought about expanding searches up to that area.

I would love to connect if you want to talk more about expanding your portfolio and growing as an investor.

Then ask around, include talking to the commissioner covering that area, as well as the various permit offices, about expanding the permited lots.But only pay for actual NOI and value of homes.  

Honestly I love how hard I work and I spoke to my wife about expanding my focus to other more lucrative neighborhoods.

Since the 45 and 180 day time constraints will take some more focused shopping add a few hours for that (or add a few hours to consult with more than one real estate professional.Third, divide the tax by your second calculation and that number tells you the hourly rate you are "making" by choosing to do the exchange rather than simply paying the tax.It's not about expanding your portfolio and it's not about leaving to your grand kids.  

I currently hold 4 rental properties and am thinking about how I will go about expanding this little empire of mine.

I actually had wanted to invest in a foreclosed floor in 2011 or 2012 but it didnt work out and have kept in contact with some of the ownership in place during that time and more recently the new ownership in the picture.I've had brief discussions about expanding my property management reach and working in their building and may finally have this opportunity as they have reached out to me.I'm very familiar with the ownership in place and in fact had provided them with what I thought was a turn around plan to maximize their investment and a marketing plan for the building as they were in the process of working a couple of their issues out.I believe when this building was full a few years ago the mgmt company at that time was pulling in somewhere around $39k in annual mgmt fees with stable ownership.
