Hi Benjamin, I'll shoot you a message and we can connect to talk specifics. 

As both an investor and a mortgage broker who has personally used both options, I can say there are benefits to each.It ultimately comes down to comparing the two side by side based on your specific situation.

Once they exercise seller financing, the property is sold and all 1031 rules apply. 1031 has specific timelines.

I've consistently written about the forces of nature and her current and future effects on the real estate market (even while often being ridiculed and politicized on this very site for it) regardless: I personally moved and invested in coastal Oregon in 2018 from Venice Beach Los Angeles partly as a result of the trajectory of climate and have assisted several clients that specifically purchased on the Oregon Coast for their own 'climate havens,' investment and future retirement homes. 

After aggressive encounters, many jurisdictions refuse to allow specific dogs to live in the area.

I also work with a team that helps cash buyers execute the BRRRR strategy or build rental portfolios, making it as seamless as possible for out-of-state investors.Best of luck, and let me know if you have any specific questions!

Is there a specific document that I will need?

Good luck, and feel free to reach out if you have specific questions as you go along!

Find the REIA group for your areaAs Henry noted, post something specific for your area and tag your market.Get on Loopnet for your area and property type, reach out to the brokers that are listing deals and offer to take to coffee (they are often invested in deals too but you could ask for connections to other operators that might be getting started).And, again as Henry noted, each person you meet, ask them what other networking events they have attended that you can put on your list.

I would try to buy properties starting at a specific date so not large ticket items come up.
