My husband and I are looking to connect with like minded individuals.

Since they can't do each property individually, they use comparable sales to make broad generalizations to determine percent changes.

But there is a way that you can still do a 1031 and sell them individually.

That's also not a deterrent to REI...and it never was, and never will be.The real key comes down to analyzing markets, and not just individual properties. 

Each individual needs to assess their own ability to handle costs over that time frame when cash flow may dry up.

To me every generic question like this post, the first response should be an AI response, followed by individuals personal take and experience.OP:Start small and Make Your Big Mistakes Early. 

Residences and cars are not purchased in individuals names.  

You will have two separate K-1s as you are each individual owners.  

Denver and its surrounds have particularly active markets and a lot of active individuals offering ancillary services so I'd suggest you research those available services you're looking at offering to help you get an idea for what is well covered, what is lacking and what your competitor's pricing looks like.

Networking events, seminars, and workshops help you connect with like-minded individuals and mentors.
