Yes, I’ve got a mortgage on it now, but my cash flow went from only $1000/month to $2400/month and I picked up 3 more properties basically for free with no out of pocket cash to buy them. 

Historically, real estate markets perform best when the economy is stable, with steady mortgage rates and consistent demand for housing and commercial properties.

But why would you sell a property that is performing well?

For instance, properties with an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on the lot that can be implemented as a long-term or short-term rental can perform exceptionally well.

@Daniel Green some good suggestions and really high performers on this thread, you are in good hands. 

To see how much a 1031 exchange will benefit you in a sale you must first calculate the performance of your current property.

its genius really.. most bird dogs work for locals on a performance basis and don't have to pay the investor to bring them deals.. 

Again, it makes no sense. 

And reality no matter who is teaching you..
