Many investors I work with from the Bay Area are purchasing here and many people from the Bay Area are relocating here as work from home becomes more accepted.

They have a place they could potentially close on by the end of the year, but its new construction and the closing is subject to change based on the builder (and the area was just in the path of Beryl, so that timeline could have been impacted), so if that's the only thing they're thinking of exchanging into, I'm inclined to suggest they consider consuming the losses now for simplicity's sake, especially if the exchange timeline can't be guaranteed to work out.

Used my deployment money to purchase a property in Sacramento using VA loan. 

Typically a seller can't get out of a purchase contract once they agree to sell, but it's also rare for a court to force a sale if the seller just doesn't show up to closing.

I have purchased many of the land courses and the land riches blueprint is the best I have seen. 

It kind of depends on what your goals are, but you may be able to start consolidating your properties a little more with like-kind exchanges and/or purchasing larger properties where you could do cost-segregations on.

Purchasing a house in Bremerton, WA but we live in Nevada.

The only way you can cure rental housing shortfalls is to create enough new supply to reduce prices of existing units, drive down the price of purchasing housing for rental purposes such that more is bought, or for government to create and manage the supply itself.

@Samuel Coronado My experience with building lot purchases is they’re usually only worth what you pay for them once.

We're both on board with the idea now - my question is around how to make the purchase and structure the agreement...we both want to go in 50/50 towards a conventional loan and then have it managed by a property manager.
