Nice to have another addition to BP Nation from the great pacific northwest ....

The company we looked at is called Pacific Valley homes and their office is in Perris, CA.

Instead I have a few lead sources that have panned out for me that keep me busy outside of the general public for the most part.

See podcast here where he goes over exactly that: https://anchor.fm/sean-pan/episodes/33---Why-Investing-in-Your-Backyard-is-the-Best-Strategy-with-Saj-Shah-e3d249?

@Bill Exeter and @Dave Foster Yes, the DST is a great fallback in case none of the properties you identify during the 1031 pan out.  

So, to investors, flippers, wholesalers, buyers, renters and everyone interested: if you need a bird dog, scouter, or someone to look at properties in the Thurston, Pierce, Lewis, Pacific, Greys Harbor, Mason, Kitsap and King Counties in the Washington state, I can do it and we can set a price!

I know there are many investors who come from the towns near St Louis, so you may even find someone else from Pacific.  

I am confused as to how this deal would pan out?

I have a lot of Real estate experience and flip homes and am a  Broker for a living...We were actually going to move to Jupiter(from Vegas) in 2010 but that didn't pan out.
