I have a two questions with regards to a 1031 exchangeThe first one is if I were to sell a property for 500,000 its paid off can I buy 3 new properties that cost 200 thousand each or does it need to be one property greater than 500,000?   

Quote from @Celli Mowery: As a BP binge listener, investor and agent, I'm curious why smaller areas of Kentucky are not receiving focus with their low land costs, & lower entry points?

Calculate how much more in interest, lost profits, etc it will cost you to have this “blip” on your credit report.  

It also saves you some costs, which is helpful when you’re just starting.

I was one of the fortunate ones that was able to get out of the contract and after all expenses (forfeited deposit, legal fees, holding costs, etc) lost less than $20k.  

I am foreseeing a bit of a push back or even turned-off potentially decent tenants by the $50/pp screening fee, mostly for a family of 4 ($200 out of pocket).I was wondering if offering a credit of either 50% or the full 100% of the screening costs from the first or second month's rent is a good idea.Thought?

Using LVP was a smart choice—it holds up well when wet and is cost-effective to replace.

If you are worried about out of pocket costs, see if maybe a rehab loan is an option to get everything needed done now and refinance in 3 months when everything is complete.

Generally there are multiple units for each "zone" if you will when I've seen them installed.Regarding your problem at hand, I personally would simply adjust your plan to move and make your initial plan to get the current issues resolved, while costly now, in the long run holding onto the unit will likely pay off. 

I'm looking to categorize my buyers and blast out a text message to specific groups whenever I get a property that fits their criteria.I'm sure services like this exist out there but I'm looking for the most cost effective one and I'd rather hear the best from you guys rather than from the salesman pitching their product.Does anyone use a platform like this and how does it perform for you?
