I'm planning to actively pursue my first investment property in January and am interested in a BRRRR strategy.

If you've sent notices, allowed the required time, no response, no activity, no water, no rent, garbage left, no sign of anyone.?.

They even requested exclusive from listing from over a year ago that was no longer active.

It's a very active state for us.

The alternative I see as a work around but full disclosure I am not a lawyer is giving tenants notice to vacate and then listing the property with no active tenants or have tenants sign off that they are not interested in buying the building and list right away. 99% of tenants are not capable of being buyers so who knows how often this ordinance will actually be used.

1031 exchanges have been interesting to me, although, outside of a DST, they still require active management.I received an invitation from a well regarded real estate developer to 1031 exchange into an acquisition they are doing. 

As Election Day nears, many individuals halt their major financial activities because they feel the uncertainty of the election results may have adverse effects if they act now.

Prior to the 1986 Act, real estate investors were able to offset their rental property losses against their active income including w-2 earnings and profits from businesses.

in Jan 2020 I closed of my first house while active duty navy in San Diego.
