The NFL Scouting Combine in 2023 and 2024.

AKA: The kind of contractors that just won't be capable of growing with you, or servicing 10 jobs at the same time.A huge part of what @J Scott proposes is that his favored subs will save administrative time and marketing dollars by not having to scout quite so hard to find their next sale... or spend quite so much time chasing down payments... 

Just curious, where about in SD are you scouting or have you already decided on a location? 

But, I scout development land hard in this South Everett area.

Well said @Minh Le , I agree there are quite a few savvy investors here in the Bay Area scouting the market for deals and gaining access to best deals needs network and expertise (which are gained over time... unless you get lucky).

Also bear in mind that while getting 1% or more in rents is great, it doesn't much matter if expenses and taxes eat it all up - so keep the focus on net numbers (cash flow, ROI, ROIE).I think you're definitely on the right track with regard to the 1031, but remember that you'll need to adhere to the 45/180 timelines, so make sure you scout replacement props long before you go to market - 45 days isn't long in RE.

Therefore, you have to scout and research cities, areas, and neighborhoods to find those higher appreciation rates.In short, all of those metrics sound very realistic to me, but none of them come without significant research and due dilligence.

When scouting and interviewing, make sure you discuss what it is you're looking for upfront to decrease your chances of being stuck in the wrong area.

According to Neighborhood Scout, it's the most expensive neighborhood in Union City, so hopefully it holds value?

Isn't wrong.Plus every Band/cheerleader/Boy Scout group will end up doing car wash fund raisers at your place because "We don't pay for water, just do it at my house"
