@Ned Carey Thank you for the advice, Ned!

This single trick allowed me to exponentially save into my next real estate deal and so on and so forth.I also agree with @Steve Vaughan's sentiment above.... agree with about 99% of Remit's advice EXCEPT him saying that renting is cheaper than buying. 

The best documentation in the world won't help you strategically plan how to use your 1031 opportunity if the QI isn't responsive to in a timely manner.Demonstrated experience and nationwide footprint I would toss out as the two most important criteria. 

I am not familiar with the rates for GC services so wondering what advice any of you could give. 

Thanks so much, have already learned a lot from this site but looking to get more personalized advice. 

My 6 month goal is to create a strategic real estate investment plan,  build my foundation of knowledge via BiggerPockets podcast/ webinars, and continue to save (I will have 60k cash to invest) My one year goal is to make my first real estate investment purchase.This is very vague, although I am currently reading Brandon Turners book “Rental Property Investing” and creating my plan to be much more detailed and intentional!
