Phoenix has been a hot market for rentals recently, but consider how long-term trends, interest rates, or construction projects might impact demand.Here’s a quick story: A friend of mine bought a new-build in a suburban development a few years back.

Choosing an STR-friendly area can save you significant hassle and protect your investment in the long run.

I’ve been around real estate for decades, and I read in The Economist once that in lively markets like Charlotte, folks will pay a premium for a comfortable room if you’re near major employers.A friend of mine tried something similar out in Austin a while back.. he’d inherited a 4-bedroom property and split it into individual room rentals.

I was just telling my friend today that I'm getting multi-family, high performance, and relationship mentoring all in one package! 

Quote from @Mathew Chacko: Hi friends, did anyone end up using e1031xchange ?

Of course it isn't going to work for everyone...then again, I also have many friends with degree's that cost them 6 digits that cannot get a job in their field!

No reason not to use a top platform.Regarding the friends thing, that is dirty pool IMHO.

When someone wants to send you a referral privately, they are probably sending you a friend that pays them a referral fee.

My suggestion would be to get an investor friendly agent who knows a few local markets and have them guide you in the right direction.
