If you offer more $ for the property than the all cash offers AND you appear to the seller to be highly qualified in the method you are using for sourcing the payment, at some point your offer will be more appealing than the all cash offers.I don't understand why you would consider a 1031 for another property in two years. 

I assume you mean the ONE by you is a “natural” wildfire?

Most likely the state where the property is located is where lawsuits would be brought if they are something for personal injury like a trip and fall or something of that nature because the “cause of action” arose in that state.

And when their methods don’t work and you turn to your favorite guru for advice, what do they tell you?"

I rented to ACU students and used the rent by the room method.

This will build naturally and organically.When I started, I had nothing, knew nothing, and knew no one. 

I jumped into real estate doing the BRRRR method, understanding that holding property will allow me to build generational wealth, but then learning that landlord income is not the best way to feed your family.

The most reliable method to locate liens and their positions is to conduct a title search through a title company.

I picked up the BRRRR method book and feeling confident in setting it all up (we did a similar process for our Airbnbs).  

My thought is that the people that ARE using it for lead gen/outreach, automation etc. will keep the methods to themselves until the advantage of early adoption is done and that business segment is saturated, then they will sell courses to everybody else..
