Property 2 (CA SFH $1.8M FMV, $300k basis, 1992-2020 primary residence, 2020-current rental, my elderly mother (WA resident) is sole owner)1031 to WA, rent 1 year before converting to primary (or more desirable 2ndary) residence.

The majority of buyers appreciate the expertise that a good agent provides (local market knowledge that can only be gained by being active in the market buying and selling all the time, looking at most of the new listings in person or at least online daily, a background in or at least understanding of building construction, relationships within the network of professionals in the industry doing deals, vendor referrals, legal protection through E&O insurance and keeping up with constant changes in approved contracts and required disclosures and forms, negotiating skills (the average person is terrible at negotiating directly and has no desire to, I find Americans are uniquely averse to negotiating and prefer to outsource it but I digress), etc.).

Study financing, Study Wholesaling (if that is something you desire to attack), listen to Podcast.If your FICO is 640 ish, in 6 months you can be around 670-690 by aggressively paying down debt and getting a bit frugal for those months.
