You don't understand what I'm saying regarding Market Analysis, which is understandable since it would be hard to explain in this limited format. 

I’m new to private money lending, so while I understand the concepts in principle, I’m still figuring out how to identify and connect with these investors in practice.To clarify, I’m targeting 6+ unit multifamily properties, and private money is a way to scale my expertise from smaller properties into larger ones.

My understanding is the cost goes from roughly $1,200 for a normal 1031 to about $5-8K for a reverse 1031.  

I know taxes and insurance have gone up a lot in that time so I understand that problem but the solid rent increases in that time have been able to cover most of that (at least for me it has worked out).

I understand the appeal of the E2 visa route, and there are indeed a few franchises that cater to that niche.

Have some real estate under my belt but looking into Short term rentals opposed to long term rentals.Wondering if there is a stand out book to read to gain understanding for Australian Short Term rental market/AIRBNB.Also if there is a specific group for Australians and short term rentals for Australian market/Australian tax system etc, do point me to that.Rod

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.
