A buddy of mine, who’s been an agent in the Phoenix market for nearly as long as I have, once had a client who stumbled into a 1031 that shot their returns through the roof because they snagged a property near one of those new tech corridors sprouting up.. from what I’ve heard, that corridor’s been buzzing with interest lately.What’s exciting right now is seeing how investors are leveraging 1031 exchanges to pivot into markets that are on fire.

I'm new here so may not have a full view but the overall climate seems to be-anything to make a deal-ridiculous financing, leverage the home you life in-who cares where it is located it will be easy to rent/manage from hours away-don't be gracious with your tenants and housekeepersMy guess is a tilt toward young and not financially stable which is awesome if remaining sensible.

If i purchase RE at 80% down, i have 5x leverage.  

You just got to put a bid to you that makes sense off of 25-30% down, STRs I do less leverage but underwrite on the 28% down mark.

You should definitely wait so you can leverage an FHA loan. 

Leveraging the equity from your house hack for future investments, whether in STRs or larger multi-family properties, is a strategic plan, but ensure your initial property performs well before taking on bigger projects like flipping.
