Quote from @Chris Lo: Which platforms/websites do landlords use to find the rent rate, how long the rental properties have been on the market, and all the details about other rental properties?

I manage my parents rental portfolio which consists of 1 mobile home park (20 units), and about 15 other houses.

A nice but expensive duplex on a beach or in an expensive area might be ideal, if you can swing the other half out of personal funds. 

We own 3 other rental properties that have a 6.5%-7.5% APR, and no credit card debt or any other high interest debt to pay off.

Guaranteed others are fine with a lower elevation, but I do not have water run over my foundation inside.

You could also ask other nearby HOAs who they use.

As others have said a 1031 exchange, which allows for the deferral of capital gains taxes, is not applicable to properties held primarily for sale, such as a flip.If your goal is to defer taxes, you might consider holding the property as a rental for a period to qualify it as an investment property, which could then potentially be eligible for a 1031 exchange.

Any other advice or tips when selecting an ID real estate agent is appreciated.

Don’t be distracted by people with other plans and ways.

Happy to chat and get a game plan in place for you or answer any other questions you might have.
