I do feel that rents are probably going to catch up over the next 3 - 5 years.

Personally I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to wholesale a relatives $1M home knowing that I am breaking the law if I cross over into doing anything that can be considered representing them in the transaction, and knowing it will only be marketed to people who buy properties wholesale (typically investors who don't want to pay retail prices), instead of the majority of retail buyers active in the market who are typcially willing to pay more. 

I’m not trying to second guess you, just trying not to make you feel like a peasant while I do important stuff. 

I’ve had many clients do a traditional 1031 and then they feel like they have a gun to their head with the shot clock.  

I feel like I’m missing the bigger picture of what makes a property a great investment opportunity.If anyone could share some pointers or insights on how to identify a “good deal,” I’d really appreciate it!
