I have a great 1031 company I work with that has a lot of education and information if you want me to send it over.

@Jed Butikofer you are in the right place to start getting the next level of education.

Also, the dirty little secret is they can make MUCH more educating than actually participating in deals.... 

Quote from @Travis Timmons: @Jay Hinrichs this is an educated guess, but I think the market rent for our property unfurnished, long term would be approximately $1100 per month and we have rented it for $1600 per month as a furnished, medium term rental.  

Tasks like furnishing, cleaning, and setup count, but education & research hours are generally disallowed.Bonus depreciation is 60% for 2024 and scheduled to drop to 40% in 2025 unless legislation changes.

I would love to share my educational resources with you!

Education and networking can help refine strategies.Good luck!

Once you understand these basic things (a several more) you will be in an educated position to put in credible offers that can turn into successful ventures. 

Here's how I do my due diligence:1) Portfolio matching: (takes 30 seconds per deal)a) Have an educated opinion on where I think we are in the real estate cycles (financial and physical market cycles)b) Then and only then do I pick the strategies, capital stack, and specialized asset subclasses that make sense for that opinion.
