I'm currently the founder and CEO of 1031 Prime, a tech enabled 1031 exchange service to help keep taxes at bay and support the defer, depreciate, and die model.My goals for the next 18 months are to continue to grow 1031 Prime by servicing my fellow real estate investors and buy a small MF property, Ideally 4-8 units. 

Ideally, it will also lower your living expenses so you can save up faster for the next investment or next house hack. 

Quote from @Brittany Kuschel:Hello, I don't really have a specific market that I'm looking in right now (which I know isn't super ideal), I've lived in most of the major areas around Minnesota.

My goal is to acquire a primary residence ideally before the end of 2024.

I would be willing to risk a higher price point to acquire the "ideal" tenant, however.I understand that putting in the time and collaboration with like-minded investors is key. 

Ideally, we’d like to limit mortgage debt to no recourse, and no cross collateral.  

Generally prices are too high to hit ideal numbers on most beaches, however there is usually a good vacation rental or 2 on each beach. 

Ideally we hold forever (cash flow positive) or we 1031 to another property.Thanks in advance.

Because what I get out of these posts is there was an EXPECTATION that not only would things NOT go bust, but that the projected ideal returns WOULD absolutely happen, for sure. 

I have 2 tickets and an upgraded room (honeymoon suite with access to private beach).
