I have seen instances where a 1031 exchange was not required such as1) The overall gain from the sale of the investment property was very small or even negative2) The taxpayer had enough passive loss carryforwards to offset the gain.A 1031 exchange is a very powerful tool put it has to make sense before going forward.

I have been watching my local market the past couple of years saving money and building credit for my first property.  

Totally worth it to cover any gaps.For managing it all, a Property Management System (PMS) could save you a ton of time by syncing calendars, automating messaging, and handling bookings.

Many BP people see contractor, RE agent and property manager as the only options to enter the RE business.

Modulars are a little better because its easier to get FHA and VA financing so they can sell quicker to a wider group of buyers.FHA can be refinance down the road so the MIP - mortgage insurance premium similar to PMI but more expensive. 

Quote from @Twana Rasoul: @Jon Ful I'm happy to recommend some contacts if you are interested...I've tried and reached out to several cost seg companies for properties here in San Diego. 

Quote from @Jake Hughes: Called my CPA and they mentioned that aside from tax write offs we can do a cost segregation study on one of my properties.

If you are self managing 1-2 properties, minimal softwares are needed IMO. 

You found a PM who's specialized to this exact market and property type.
