The way I see it, unless they start tracing your IP address to your computer's location and triangulating that way, OR AirBNB starts forcing you to provide a unique identifier like a SS# to open a new account and then somehow verifying it (You can still have friends and family have accounts this way) and using a blend of strategies to make sure you aren't gaming the system, it will be very hard for them to enforce this for those who are motivated to get around it...

The only 1031 deal I did, I had issues after I identified.

@Chris Watson  Thanks, I am trying to soak up as much as I can while I figure out how to do my analysis and figure out what strategies work best and how to identify the right markets

Once I manage to identify the ideal city to invest in, I hope to connect with the local real estate folks (agents, property managers, lawyers etc.) and progress to the next step in the investment process. 

You can identify them both by looking for wonky loan amounts. $405,750 is going to be a conventional loan, but $408,237 is going to be FHA/VA.Both statements will hold true about 99 times out of 100.I haven't read/heard of a lot of people being successful with this strategy (or completing an assumption at all, really), so if you are successful please post back with your experiences!

Talk to a lender, they will let you know what you need to do to qualify for the actual loan, once you are qualified start looking at properties and identify one that you'd like to pursue. 

It gives a false sense of demand, but it gets easier to identify that vs qualified tenants with experience in your market.  

We have been working to identify commercials brokers in the Minneapolis and Las Vegas areas however we are coming up short.

That is when I identified House Hacking as my entry way to the real estate investing world.From there, I've been analyzing properties and deals as I save up for my purchase.

For example: if you personally been investing in rentals, know how to identify good investment and manage your property manager then buying a rental in your IRA might make sense.
