Hi Brynn, there are 1031 exchange intermediary companies that can source deals for you but likely charge a commission and may not be aligned with your interest in getting best quality investmentyou can join the 506investorgroup.com, which has hundreds of active CRE-passive investors who are always posting new deals, and reviewing them and have long threads on each investment going back years tracking how they have done. you can google syndicators around the country and start contacting them and looking at their deals now and get a feel for which ones are good operators, so you will have a dozen or so lined up for when you need to investyou can start networking locally with RIAs or lenders and find out who are good/active CRE syndicatorsgood luck :)
