You want to investigate the full range of possible 1031 options (residential, commercial, syndicated, active, passive, oil/gas/solar, etc.) if you're hunting for income.  

A few more passive, but riskier, ways to offset w2 income are oil and gas investing and ATM investing which have funds. 

After months of waiting, the seller finally was able to finish taking out an oil tank and get state regulatory approval.

My Engineering degree and experience managing BIG projects in Oil & Gas have greatly helped me Fix-n-Flip and manage my own properties. 

.- the guy is also selling jet oil from saudi arabia- their office is located at medical center haha- he's probably ex mortgage officer from obsidianmortgage in FL - his customer is so unsophisticated lol

My fuel oil is clocking $5.99/gallon which is up over 25% since last year.

@Sam Booth Yes to the Oil based Kilz on the sub flooring or something similar to help kill the odor.

Wetlands, underground oil storage tanks, easements, contaminates of other kinds and a host of other issues could exit.

You know big trophy ranch's and I have to think buyers that are buying 5 to 50 million dollar ranch's will not have a problem with a buyer broker arrangement It takes a ton of time and effort to sell those bad boys and its for sure a specialty niche.. you have to know a lot about Old western land laws  Water rights Timber rights Mineral rights you have to be very good with surveys and how to read USGS quad maps ( although google earth helps a lot) U have to understand hunting and fishing regs etc etc. .

Examples - owner occupied loans for house hackers, specific market knowledge (ie - friend of mine that ice fishes and bought a short term rental cabin in an ice fishing spot that you and I would never know of), ability to do renovation on your own or cheap, contacts with local companies or organizations that would be a tenant source for mid term rentals, ways to source off market deals, etc.Whatever it is, figure that out and get started.
