So I would need quick access to funds.

I want to add him to 50% ownership so we can both manage the property and access the cash flow.

I don't see how I can access it from here as an individual.

Make sure you have proper access to run ARV and make sure you know how to do it.

So, somehow the scammers are getting their cell number.The only way we can imagine this is happening is if the scammer has access to Z****w leads or similar.

This can potentially enhance long-term wealth building.Tax Deferral-By reinvesting your proceeds into like-kind properties through a 1031 exchange, you can defer capital gains taxes, allowing you to reinvest more capital.Market Timing-Despite the competitive market, a 1031 exchange gives you a defined timeline to identify and acquire properties, potentially putting you ahead of other buyers who might not be as motivated by a tight deadline.Cons:Lower Initial Cash Flow-Acquiring additional properties may reduce your immediate cash flow, especially if properties in your target market are not as cash flow positive as your current property.Risk of Overpaying-In a competitive market, there's a risk of overpaying for properties just to meet the exchange deadline, which could impact your overall returns.Either one is a valid option, but overall it depends what your financial goals and restrictions are.
