What are good areas to look into; in the near future considering places like Newark, orange and east orange.

From what I hear on the recent podcast 710 it's a great alternative to short-term rentals but a lot of leg work to get licensed and set up. 

I know my parents aren’t my responsibility, but before I found Dave’s plan I made a deal with them that I would buy their house from them at a deal (because they were about to get foreclosed because my dad lost his job due to his leg getting cut off from diabetes) and in return I would let them live there rent free for as long as they needed.

It turns out my friend had told me about his uncle who owned several properties across Orange County. 

If you drive through the other towns, it's apples and oranges in terms of amenities, the architectural detail of all the properties, the feel of the place, and the things they have built into the town of Seabrook. 

One of the things we ermphasize with realtors when we teach our CI classes for realtor boards is that understanding how the 1031 benefits the investor will give you an incredible leg up when you are doing listing presentations. 

Seminole/Orange/Volusia counties.

I have a background in Urban Planning and Civil Engineering which gives a big leg up when it comes to this strategy.Much appreciated, Thank you!

This would be the most work for me but I know where to go and putting in the leg work to get sturdy, luxury cabinets and finishes at auction and discount will be a big part of the strategy.

For the dining furniture in the nicer house, I shelled out and got what seemed to be good stuff but my guests keep breaking the cross bars between the chair legs, staining the cushions, scratching the tabletop, and then just the bolts come loose over time.
