Feel free to reach out though if it would be helpful to look for a sweet spot in those to see the tradeoff between prepayment penalties/terms!

The beauty is, you can rinse and repeat, moving your equity up the ladder of properties, from a small duplex in Austin to a bigger aprtment complex in San Antonio, or even pivot into a promising commercial spot right here in the Phoenix area.I remember a friend of mine who started off nervous as heck about his first exchange.

New to this platform and my response posted in the wrong spot.

Instead of focusing solely on the popular spots, they expanded their search to neighborhoods like Linda Vista and Lemon Grove.

For further background, I’m looking to purchase a spot around 750K, but want to seller finance 100-200k of the price to reduce the need for a large down payment / keep myself liquid for renovation costs. 

To piggyback on Henry's comments, he's spot on with #4.

Commissions don’t like to do Spot zoning changes.  

Like when a tenant is a disaster, you are going to move that one down in some spots.

Renting by the room doesn't make sense for a lot of people but when you have 4 bedrooms and 4 parking spots it might.
