With software like propstream I can even look at seller mortgage details and MLS private remark.Getting license you only know the legality aspect of being an agent but doesn't necessarily means you would be a smarter one to get to know the market.The only thing that I can not do with propstream is I can not download all disclosures when I try to purchase.

We have purchased 8 investment properties over the last 2 years, we strictly rent them out with section 8. 

If you do have to move because of a job, you would be safest (in my opinion, i am not giving legal advice or financial advice), i would sell that property to ensure that you did not just purchase with the goal of moving out early and taking advantage of lower rates and lower down payments for purchasing your home as a primary residence. 

They also didn't get hit with capital gains on the entire purchase price, which enables them to keep more of their money. 

I specifically want to call out one of their Senior Accounts Associate, Charlotte Cunningham, who helped me through the process on my first purchase as I needed to buy a sizable amount of furniture quickly and she was able to help me make moves quickly...and didn't make me feel bad whatsoever when I pulled back a few items at the last minute I was able to find them cheaper elsewhere.

Secondarily, if I had a buyer for the land before I close, could I structure the purchase to include them without doing a wholesale deal?

@Tomoko HaleWith STRs its not just purchasing the property. 

I still am on the lists of all the major wholesalers and still show up to showings occasionally on properties that might have enough margin for me but have not purchased recently from a wholesaler.Just like Adrien says, they provide a service of marketing and negotiating contracts for you.

I’m looking to do a 1031 Ex w 300k down and 650 purchase price can anyone suggest areas that might cash flow w these numbers ???

We are currently living just south of Boston and are looking to purchase a 2-4 unit property in which we would live in one of the units.
