If you own real estate in a self-directed qualified account, the 1031 exchange is unnecessary.

If you are looking for proper guidance from someone that has house hacked quite a few times and has the knowledge and experience to help get you going in the right direction, I recommend reaching out to @Josh Green.

@Clarissa Zimmermann I usually direct my clients rent.app

Many of my clients begin there, then transition to direct bookings once they’re comfortable.

This helps prove your direct participation.Proof or Documentation – Keep receipts, invoices, emails, or even before-and-after photos as evidence of your work.

@Travis GuttingAssuming you are trying to keep things low-budget, here are some options:Driving for Dollars – Look for distressed properties and contact owners directly.

You’re on the right track—build awareness of costs where it directly impacts their role, but don’t overcomplicate the program with factors they can’t control.

We are direct lenders, meaning we lend our own money, for flips within approximately 1½ hours of our home.We walk through every property to avoid surprises and to confirm the rehab estimate.

Many are run by fake gurus who are just repackaging stuff they found on BP and repackaged as a get rich scheme that they sell by showing pictures/videos of people partying on a beach and things like that. 

My sister and I founded Abideaway to help short term rental hosts increase their profitability and guest experience through interior design, mural painting, and digital branding—in essence, a suite of creative services to set them apart :) We work nationwide and would be happy to help wherever you land.Would love to chat with you to learn more about your direction and see how we can assist.
