I think that 1031 investors are savvy investors who recognize that it's not very realistic to think that you should be able to sell your property for top dollar and buy your replacement property from the bargain bin.  

Find a good Realtor on here and have them you sort out the best deals in your area.

To learn about CRE the best place right now to get a general sense of the business is something like chatGPT.

I would rather invest in safe markets that produce a good return, then I can use that income to pay for a vacation anywhere in the world.I'm very pessimistic about the STR market in Hawaii.

Doing my best to comp, it would be around $1,000,000.00.
