It is for the smart intelligent hard-working folks that understand success is in their hands, and with the right tools it can be expedited significantly.

In Trustee sales once you hand over your check its done your money is gone and not coming back unless there was a mistake in the sale or the owner filed a very late BK that was not caught before the sale was cried.

We own and manage quite a few in that zip code and have had great success. 38109 on the other hand is a very challenged zip code so it makes investing tough.

Brokers, on the other hand, have the duty to discover and disclose material facts - regardless of what a seller marks on the form or is willing to disclose. 

If you eventually do hand it off, then you will know what makes a good property manager or not.

This is what I heard third hand, so not sure if it is true but i believe the person got this from the PPM which was noting where the monies were going. 

However, I find I usually have to do a little more education or hand-holding up-front with them (because there can be a lot of things they don't know- whether it's about how Airbnb / VRBO work or what the rental process is like). 

How are folks navigating 1031 and high financing rates vs taking capital gains hit and having pure cash on hand to redeploy elsewhere (in my case, rebuilding on my primary residence)?

In 2019 i only had handful of unbooked nights for the year and the area was active the entire year (there was no huge off season).
