Any guidance you can provide as we navigate this process would be incredibly valuable.Looking forward to connecting further!

I am wondering if anyone invests in this area can provide me with some referrals?

Our job is to provide you assistance. 

@Sung Yu You can 1031 exchange your fourplex into a single-family home, provided it’s initially used as an investment property (rented for 1–2 years) to meet IRS requirements.

Purchasing a property for your child while they attend college can be a strategic investment and a great way to provide them with stable housing.

There are many STRs that do quite well in the suburbs of major cityies Off the top of my head, I can think of one of the STRs we manage that is 40 mins outside of Dallas and it has a great occupancy rate.

The top agents would be charging like attorneys and make more money then the 2-3 percent they would get from the seller.

When work needs to be done, we require the tenant to provide access.

We don't tend to get them when buying from a bank (because they usually won't budge on price) or wholesaler (who often provide an inspection) but do our own thorough inspection. 

So, you are working through 2 decision makers, not one.A Realtor can really provide you value in a transaction....especially your first one!
