Please seek the advise of a local attorney who specializes in landlord/tenant law and not those of us in other areas that are stunned by a $4500 relocation fee!!!  

If you owned that house so that friends and family had a place to stay that is not productive use in business investment or trade and would not qualify for 1031. 

Looking to be the best product and best price for the area.

One Realty Investments is a residential real estate brokerage that specializes in investments. 

When you raise rents each year starting out at lower rents you tend to still be the best priced in town.Conversely the higher priced rents the property tends to be extra special, or a new build with amenities,etc.

Will they work with you to get a custom product.

@Adam Sporinsky, You need to eliminate the word "flip" from your vocabulary entirely :)Your intent with a flip is primarily to resell.  1031 qualifying real estate is purchased with the intent to hold for productive use in trade business or for investment.  

I would guess the money moved to the end/user distribution & boutique products - oils, edibles, pain reducing compounds, etc.

Mike, I do not think you need any special license to buy or sell notes, but as Chris mentioned, the servicer needs to be licensed in the state where the property is located.

Once you have decided on the type of investing  you want to specialize in I would suggest you research it so you have a high level knowledge of the moving parts of the investment class and know how to evaluate it.
