Hey Christian and Daniel-- let's connect on a call this week to talk real estate and exchange what projects we're working on.

After I had a few of those properties by the time I'm 25-26, I would use a 1031 exchange to hopefully trade those into an apartment complex where things would really get rolling.On the other hand, I'd like to get started as soon as possible and have a potential private money lender offering to lend up to 80k to get me started in real estate (I know this individual very well and they have a lot of faith in me, they can see how passionate I am about it).

Is there any realtor out there interested in splitting the cost of their MLS subscription in exchange for granting me access?

Create business cards as an easy exchange while you to these meet ups.

Do you have to sell something and do a 1031 exchange? 

In the future (not sure how long in future for your Silicon Valley place to legally be considered a rental from a 1031 perspective), you can do a 1031 exchange to buy a new rental property.

Hello BP Members,I live in Broomfield, CO (15 min north of Denver) and I have owned a duplex in Englewood, CO for 15 years and recently sold it in order to pursue a 1031 Exchange into a mobile home park out of state.

Hello BP -I'm a real estate broker here in Long Beach, California and I have a client that would like to sell his condo rental, that is paid off, and do a 1031 exchange for a larger multi-family property.

If you transfer the property to the LLC and then the LLC tries to do an exchange - Did the LLC acquire the property to hold or for resale. 

I dream of a 1031 exchange, buying a couple rentals in Colorado, and letting those work for me and cover my housing; and I don't see it happening with this mortgage for the next 30 years.
