That said, expect to deal with a fair amount of fluff leads.The two best strategies I’ve found are inbound methods: direct mail and Google Ads.Direct mail can be expensive, but it can also yield highly discounted properties.Google Ads, on the other hand, doesn’t require data extraction like calls, direct mail, or texting.

So, don't expect to be able to do a cost seg study on the property and take a big bonus depreciation deduction, unless the new property has significantly higher value than the exchanged property.  

Quote from @Henry T.: I just did a 2/1  900sf house. 

Where could I get in contact with someone like this and what kind of rate should I anticipate they would expect?

That helps with competition, but don't expect discounts - prices are still up 8.3% YoY.

Just be sure to select a reliable property manager that aligns with your expectations

If you're only looking to avoid doing your own research and instead expect someone to magically give you all the answers - SELL!

Post notices and set expectations. 

.- Closing Costs: This can include various fees related to finalizing the loan, such as recording fees and settlement costs.Inspection Fees: If required, this ensures the property is in good condition before purchase.It’s a good idea to discuss these potential costs with your lender upfront to get a clearer picture of what to expect.

Prior to investing in anything for myself, I also set a clear expectation of a result that I require- mine was to acquire a BRRRR property, which I was able to achieve.
