Explain him benefit of owner finance based on his tax structure, since how long he own and what is his plan (Cash, 1031 exchange etc...)What are some questions that I should ask the seller during our meeting?

If you have an area where labor is plenty and job is scarce, you are more likely to get it at 50/sf, but I wouldn't exchange that much headache (a year?)

Message me directly and let's exchange phone numbers. 

Otherwise I'm hoping to find tenants who are willing to take on helping manage the property in exchange for slightly lower rent...either that or hire a property manager.  

I have a question regarding 1031 exchange.

This post needs 1031 exchange in it so that those experts show up.

I am interested in passive income through rentals, and learning how I can use the 1031 exchange to trade up into small multifamily.

Hi all,I am going through the research now on doing a 1031 exchange from a single family home where I have seen decent appreciation (and also was my first SFR, so I put more into it than I should have!).  

In exchange for this, I offer my expertise.

As far as a mentor goes, I'd recommend doing what you can to find a deal and then bringing it to someone in your area to see if they'd go in with you on it where they get majority (like 60/40) in exchange for guidance through areas that you're needing help on.
