This will not only broaden my exposure to the market but also help me network with other investors and professionals as I work towards my long-term goals.My aim is to start buying properties for myself in 2026, as I’ll need some time to get my finances in order.I’m excited to be a part of this community and would greatly appreciate any advice, tips, or guidance you can share.

If all things are equal consider who responds most timely and do so with a professional tone, text, and/or email? 

With a background in residential real estate, I’m eager to expand my knowledge and build connections in the industry.I’m especially interested in networking with like-minded professionals who are passionate about creating value through real estate.

If you are renting to professionals, you shouldn't have to worry about the landlord/tenant laws.

Keep in mind, though, if you just sell outright, you could be looking at capital gains and depreciation recapture, so it’s worth crunching the numbers with a proper tax professional (I’m not one, by the way).What do you think the rest of the community has seen happen to property values since last year, and do you believe it changes the 1031 conversation?

Readers should seek professional advice.

Maybe they are bad communicators.Assuming you still want the place, I would do anything you want to reach out via the renal address or professional websites, but home addresses and personal social media is going too far.

@Paola Astrid Find the local NARPM (national association of residential property managers) chapter's website and you'll find a list of each professional PM. 

HI ReetiI would 100% recommend contacting local professionals in your chosen markets. 

The more professional you stay, the better.
