The biggest thing you need to analyze is how easy is it to release this space if the the tenant leaves. 

You don't want to be under the gun of the time frames in the 1031 without a deal.I'd start with finding deals.

Share your next-best value-add REI cons upcoming in then next 6 months  (please!).

WE have done quite a few of those over the years with some pretty spectacular returns..

The overall inventory is higher due to the season.

Then they finally get hit with reality and understand it's not easy, so they move on to the next thing like selling cruises or bitcon. 

Thanks for the insight! 

If you're investing in real estate out of your home state don't you have, at minimum, a Realtor, Contractor, Property Manager, Lawyer, etc. in the state where you're looking to create a local presence?

The more diverse the feedback you get, the more open you will be.

Being that I'm so new in the field, I am trying to think outside the box to find this type of buyer.
