Based on a gut check (checking the town population + location on google maps), this may be the case. 

@Angelica CrawfordIf you sell a property for $500K, you need to buy a property for $500K to fully defer taxes in a 1031 exchange (there is slight nuance, and ALWAYS double check with a CPA). 

Any suggestions would help please Colorado Springs has some weird regulations about this depending on which county it's located in so be sure to check in with the planning department in the specific county you're looking at.

So they can boot me anytime and they are on the checking account and can see all transactions I find that about as transparent as I can make it..

Be sure to check out the free tools BP provides to help analyze deals you may have and also market insights.

Check those to see who lives the furthest away of the absentee owners and start there (or with the oldest people).

we are using REsimpli for our CRM and they can pull data etc. its pretty much a one stop shop for running an investment firm/renovating/wholesaling.

As for ARV, check out comparable sales (comps) on sites like Zillow or Redfin, or talk to a local realtor for a better idea of what similar homes are selling for in the area.

You'll also need to be listed on more than just Airbnb, and they are the only platform that allows multiple checking accounts listed.

Partnering with a wholesaler sounds fine, but check the real estate licensing laws in your state before bringing a buyer for a commission.You might consider getting your real estate agent's license and legitimately earn what your skills, drive, and experience truly command. exactly wholesaling or bird dogging is not a life time or long time occupation  RE sales can be lifetime and if your any good at it at about year 10 you should be getting all your sales from referrals and such.
