Hello all,I have a prospective tenant applying for a 6 month lease at my 1b1b studio rental unit. 

I don’t even manage the property and still have to constantly deal with it. 1031 will be the move.I own a house in close proximity as well.I would love to get another property, (preferably a duplex but adaptable) near the beach area.My goal is to start making more passive income and grow a sustainable Real Estate portfolio.Adaptable as I mentoined: to move Into the prospects of MultIfamIy dwellIngs or flIps when comfortable.I like meeting people and am constantly learning new processes.
