If you offer more $ for the property than the all cash offers AND you appear to the seller to be highly qualified in the method you are using for sourcing the payment, at some point your offer will be more appealing than the all cash offers.I don't understand why you would consider a 1031 for another property in two years. 

While I am always looking for off-market, as an agent with access to MLS, that's my primary source of looking for deals right now. 

@Manuel Angeles affordable deals depending on size can have multiple funding sources….

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Talking with one of their reps today, but wanted to also crowd source some info here : ) Thanks!

In the past, I've found both to be good sources of information for market insight and referrals. 

Are these good sources?

@Jordan Kaylor, financing aside, how are you going about sourcing potential deals?

Have also used list source and prop stream before but the data they provide is very similar to what I pull off the tax records through CRS Tax. 

Go with any of the above sources.
