Thank you @Matthew Irish-Jones, @Jonathan Greene, and @Ryan Howell for the feed back so far. 

More people are leaving the big cities, but staying close enough to enjoy the benefits of its entertainment, restaurants and cultural aspects.  

I kept the old bathroom vanities but put new cultured marble countertops on them and painted the bases.

Best recommendation is find an agent who has access to off-market deals, like @Matthew Irish-Jones and @Khaled Morad

It's just a cultural thing. :)On a serious note, for a valid 1031 exchange, you must buy the new property under the same LLC, with very rare exceptions.

Some people Are culturally ingrained to negotiate regardless of what your price point is.

We're seeing TONS of people moving to Austin from higher-priced communities around the country for Austin's lower cost of living (comparatively), while still maintaining the big city culture they are used to.

You can't kill the history, culture, and collaborative work space that cities offer. 

@Matthew Irish-Jones my goal is to wholesale the home of any motivate seller and get it under contact and flip it to a fix and flipper or cash buyer. but right now i’m having trouble getting off the ground and getting on the phone with potential motivated sellers

I've been living in Ireland for almost 5 years and I have been doing some abroad investing in Poland (where I am from) and I'm planning on expanding more into investments in Ireland.Btw, since you are planning to rent for Airbnb, you should learn about the Irish Airbnb regulations:https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/housing/owning_a_home/home_owners/renting_your_property_for_shortterm_lets.htmlYou need to register it with the government and get a permission to do it in the Rent Pressure Zones.
