@Jacob Mallison I'd say the best thing you could do for a Realtor is to provide leads for your clients that want to transact real estate.We're always looking for leads - especially those from referrals.You might not know this, but in most, if not all states, it is illegal for a real estate licensee to pay any kind of referral fee, finder's fee, etc to an unlicensed person.That said, if you want to find a good agent, look for someone who is full time and hungry.

Syndications and DSTs may or may not qualify for a condo like-kind exchange, depending on the asset and structure of the exchange.If it were me, a small MF is exactly what I would purchase next, depending on the amount of the proceedsI would also get an agent to find the next deal for you, one that works with investors and can simply bring you properties that meet the 1031 and your criteria.

You get what you pay for, trying to find someone at the going rate of 10-20% and you'll get that kind of performance.

It is unclear what kind of properties these are, duplexes etc. 

I figured this is a great opportunity to alert others in the Nashville REI community, as well as get some feedback as to what one might do in this kind of situation.

As it would be highly illegal, I receive no compensation of any kind from either of them.

I kind of fell into that and I knew the person that rented my house...I will not be engaging in that again, I was lucky to have come out ahead.

To anyone that have done this kind of deal, do you have any advice on how to get started?

The RPOA also does a once per month happy hour at Harmony Hall and a Friday morning breakfast every week.

Hi everyone, When determining what real estate agent to work with, what kind of questions do you ask them to see if they would be a good fit?
