@Tyler Gates, @Kyle Luman, The QI should not be doing anything for the client other than the 1031 exchange itself. 

It’s like my client in Omaha (where I’m based) :-) he bought a triplex where rents were under-market by $200 per unit.

There is a severe shortage of home to rent in north OC, when one of our client's homes come up for rent, it is a feeding frenzy.

Sadly it is always overvalued for the locals as well.For context: the same comparable duplex a client purchased for $750k last february 2023 in Lil Havana is now asking $925k.

Some of my clients love the cash flow in the east side neighborhoods over by Slavic Village and Broadway selling between 90-110k with rents up to $1,800+, but just really depends on the types of neighborhoods you're investing in and your risk / reward threshold. 

Here’s why and what alternatives might exist:Real Estate Syndication or Fund: Invest in funds that generate passive rental income, which can offset Schedule E losses.Real Estate Professional (REPS): Qualify for REPS to reclassify rental losses as non-passive, allowing them to offset active income.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

The idea would be, say we wanted to buy a company for $100k and they have 100 clients.

who are their other clients?

A lot of my clients are seeing great success in C/C+ locations that are in the major areas of growth, so they get the mix of appreciation and cash flow. 

What I wrote above does not create an attorney/client relationship between us.
