My personal opinion is that any time is the right time to invest if you can find opportunities that meet your Return on Investment goals.

I just had a tenant that tried to rent one of my houses and YTD income in September was bigger that YTD income in December.

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. 

What measures can I put in place to reduce my risk as a landlord?

Currently building the fix and flip/wholesale part of my business as my active income arm of Hammerhead Capital Inc.

My hat is off to you for tackling this! 

I’m all about finding value, creating win-win deals, and growing my portfolio one property at a time.

I am also a remotely managing 12 of my own Section 8 units in Iowa so know the rollercoaster of emotions of to hire or not.

It was a flip sold by another local agent, didn't need inspection due to my husband and biz partner being a contractor, negotiated price down.

My name is Jayson A, and I’m thrilled to be here as I take my first steps into the world of real estate wholesaling.
