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 ???

If you are vetting large-scale multifamily or commercial, you can do a bit more on spreadsheets, but still it would not be relevant without knowing the potential cap ex. 

My Ex-wife currently lives in my fathers home.

(meaning you're the buyer)Ex.

Later she was unable to refinance, and the ex-husband kept making payments for her so the property wouldn't go into foreclosure.I would highly suggest to your friend to contact Noel Cookman DURING the mediation process, not after.

That could be achieved without spending an inordinate additional amount in cap ex; In fact all I have seen had these items in common1.

Next I interviewed agents and found a good one that takes his own photographs( ex photographer so they were good).The Last thing I did worked.....

You have to watch out for properties that hit 1% or higher, but have cap ex and tenant issues.

And DIY repairs are not recommended for other reasons: it will take you much longer to complete, depriving you of rental income, and you run a high risk of your wife becoming your ex-wife.Same risk exists if you push your wife into becoming a Realtor or some other real estate activity just for the sake of tax benefits.

How will know where all the cap ex is?
