I'm a small business owner in the food industry; however, real estate is where I want to be full time.

That's pretty industry standard. 

Some examples of properties with high asset reclassification include medical clinics and hospitals with technical machinery and labs, grocery stores with machinery, shopping centers with rainwater drainage systems and large parking areas, industrial manufacturing facilities with advanced equipment, apartment buildings in suburban areas with swimming pools, golf courses, tennis courts and large parking areas for tenants.Here’s a list of the average amount of assets that can be reclassified into shorter asset life classes based upon the type of property.

Would my previous industry experience (property management, acquisitions, asset management, Realtor) improve my chances of qualifying for a DSCR loan?

Agree 100%, trust and transparency are what set professionals apart in this industry.

The first thing to know is that the 1031 Exchange Qualified Intermediary industry has no licensing or regulatory body. 

These are the different properties that are included in the 1031 exchange requirement: commercial buildings such as offices, schools and different establishments that are important for the population, as well as single family rentals, multi family rentals, industrial facilities, and even raw lands are included in the like-kind.

I have been using Quickbooks online for years and love that it's the industry standard and robust software.

Real estate is a very capital intensive industry and if you do not have the money the odds of success are very low - it is no different than starting any other business - how many people do you know are successful when they start with zero?

I’m eager to learn and connect with others in the industry.
