N/A Cash deal.How did you add value to the deal?

 @Dre N.: when they ask how much I want to put down I always say as little as possible and almost every bank I've talked to lately always says they can do 20%, but it may come with a higher rate.

Being tied to the N.

It sounds like you had answered your question n the details of our post.

I want to do this right, and am willing to spend as much time on education as is necessary, whether that be weeks, months, or years (though I expect to never be done learning).I have this thought which may be completely wrong: a single multiunit property with $X NOI seems easier to manage than N separate properties that each have roughly $(X/N) NOI.I've been reading the beginner articles here, but am feeling directionless when it comes to actionable steps to take.

@Gloria N Gear would you mind sending the list to me as well?

Soon after that, I was hired and now currently working as a field rep for a fix-n-flip company.

@Edgar Barrera well I’m 29 I finished RE school about a year ago had to put that on hold due to my daughter being born, she is currently 2 now so now I feel like I’m ready to put most of my energy into building my RE portfolio as well as becoming the best RE agent I can be, I love in fort Worth I’m interested in buying properties n holding them for rent

If your intent was primarily resale ( a fix n flip) then it doesn't qualify for a 1031 exchange.Now if you could be a little patient and do a refi of that property instead of selling. 

Like @Bruce Lynn mentioned, Agents want someone that will close because they don't get paid until a transaction closed so make sure you have your finances in place before you start engaging Agents.Bonus: Look for an ON-FIRE Agent.O - Organize (The Investor-Agent must be well-organized)N - Network (The Investor-Agent must be well network with other Real Estate professionals like Lenders, Appraisers, Property Managers, Inspectors, Insurance Agent, Contractors, etc)F - Focus (The Investor-Agent MUST Focus on YOU)I - Investor/Investment-Savvy (MUST be INVESTMENT SAVVY)R - Responsive (Must Be responsive and answer your call/text)E - Experience (Must be an investor or have experience working with investors)Goodluck
