Hi Asiel, Nabil I am new in the wholesaling business as well.

I could not find e1031xchange as a business entity in the State of New York (https://apps.dos.ny.gov/public...).

Currently in the process of getting my business visa approved to make the move south (from Canada).

If I were to guess, I would think that the new administration will bring positive change to the housing sector by removing regulations that impede builders, and affect building material costs. 

The founder appears to have been involved in businesses outside of real estate: ‘My dream is a locally made grooming products business’ | People | nashvillepost.comSo it does not appear there is a lot of track record there, but those are questions I would ask.

The property itself should bring in revenue ( even if you choose not to live in one side) and generally a bank will accept a portion of that rental income into the calculation. 

Also, for those whose BUSINESS (as opposed to just investment) is STR, they can scale successfully while their experience and knowledge of the industry may allow them the opportunity to uncover and recognize those few opportunities that will provide a much higher than market risk adjusted ROI. 

Within a residence there is a presumed right to privacy and installing cameras by you or your tenants can bring you legal issues.  

You can check with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), your state’s department of business oversight, or your local real estate community.5.

I have called the office number dozens of times, but it always seems to be busy.
