@Daniel Sabato - Ensuring that you have accurate market rents is probably the biggest driver of pro formas and ensuring that you hit your investing criteria.

Initially, some properties hit the market with inflated prices, driven by optimistic expectations or speculative market conditions.

Most big commercial brokerages do not share commissions, so if a deal is sent to you by an agent who is not the listing agent, you may have to comp them.That being said, your goal is to network and meet every broker in the market, so when a deal hits their desk, you are one of the first they call.Tell your real estate agent to bring you off market deals, or any deals that they list.

If you're looking to avoid a rather large tax hit, a 1031 is probably your best bet.
