Proximity to Disney is another competitive advantage.As property managers, we see what’s actually booking in all the resorts near Disney - the good, the bad and the ugly.

but i also 2nd @Jay Hurst's sentiments - get a 2nd or even 3rd opinion on DTI/ full doc. i personally love files that are puzzles, i get some weird satisfaction out of figuring out how to make it work on full-doc, especially when my client has been told "no" before. if it doesn't work now, a good loan professional will help you create a path forward.

We have been self-managing another rental out of state and so far, it has been a good experience. 

The few people I've talked to don't really have good opinions on it. 

Good luck with your journey!

the ones that look good in Ohio or Alabama or whatever come with their own challenges. 

If you find a good deal someone will take it.

Is it mainly a sales pitch or is there good knowledge that you cannot find elsewhere?

Hello good people!

I highly recommend consulting with a 1031 exchange qualified intermediary (QI) or a tax professional to ensure compliance with IRS regulations.Hope this helps—good luck with your exchange!
