(Interesting that I just came across this old post for the first time.)I’ve used Jerry Feeney’s e1031xchange multiple times.

Most operators post on multiple STR OTAshttps://www.biggerpockets.com/airbnb-calculatorGood luck

Investing in multifamily properties offers steady cash flow, diversification, as multiple tenants reduce vacancy risks and provide consistent income.

If you want to work with multiple agents, those agents know there's a very low chance of ever earning a dime, so they won't waste their time.Agents do much more than find property.

I am sure there are people who did it, even on this forum I saw posts by multiple users who claimed that they were successful doing this method.

You can 1031 exchange it into multiple rental properties that will be positive cash flowing in a high appreciation real estate market.

KateI also know many operators that have saved a ton of time using Avalara to pay taxes on multiple properties.

I think the short term effect on rents is virtually zero - illegal immigrants usually live multiple numbers to a home, rather than everyone having their own space like Americans - but longer term there may be some softness at the bottom levels of rentals. i would be more concerned about the lower economic job market than I would be about rental housing.

If you're looking to network with multifamily investors and service providers I host multiple events a month.
