Hi Cathy,I came across this thread while researching for a friend who’s diving into BRRRRing in San Diego.

He was knee-deep in a 1035 exchange that felt like trying to translate legalese while juggling chainsaws.

Then you can take that cash and buy quality real estate, accumulate the cash flow and grow your portfolio-wide before you grow it deep - meaning paying off loans. 

Not to mention, for investors who really want to dig deep and understand the fundamentals of real estate, hands-on is the best way to get there.  

The only nice things in Elmira is the food at the dive bars.

Diving into creative financing options like you’ve done shows initiative, and you're clearly thinking about the big picture.

Kevin I’m not saying it’s a good or bad investment and this is nothing against your personally but at some point you will HAVE to fully dive in and fully understand the scope of your investment whether it’s turnkey or anything else if you are going to a chance at ‘controlling’ the outcome you are seeking.

Not really “moving” but certainly diving in!  

I also find that depending on the tenant, my one Airbnb property has less wear and tear because it's constantly cleaned and maintained versus my other rentals where the families living there settle in and accumulate stuff - which makes it hard to deep clean regularly (to my liking) as well as just the constant daily wear and tear from kids etc. 

Another post someone made a comment about how “he can help the seller avoid foreclosure”These types of predatory messages also can get you in deep hot water as they have no intention of helping they just want the house at a discount
