This will not only broaden my exposure to the market but also help me network with other investors and professionals as I work towards my long-term goals.My aim is to start buying properties for myself in 2026, as I’ll need some time to get my finances in order.I’m excited to be a part of this community and would greatly appreciate any advice, tips, or guidance you can share.

Charge more to traveling health professionals.  

If all things are equal consider who responds most timely and do so with a professional tone, text, and/or email? 

Readers should seek professional advice.

Even professionals “short cut” the process and invest without almost any research.  

Keep in mind, though, if you just sell outright, you could be looking at capital gains and depreciation recapture, so it’s worth crunching the numbers with a proper tax professional (I’m not one, by the way).What do you think the rest of the community has seen happen to property values since last year, and do you believe it changes the 1031 conversation?

@Paola Astrid Find the local NARPM (national association of residential property managers) chapter's website and you'll find a list of each professional PM. 

The more professional you stay, the better. 

A professional trustee such as Exeter Trust Company is the way to go if you want it done right, imo. 

HI ReetiI would 100% recommend contacting local professionals in your chosen markets.
