My concern with a house is finding the balance between acquisition price and appeal in a beach town. 

When you wait you lose great deals on homes that are priced lower.

I focus on Columbus, Ohio, which has seen significant growth, especially with tech giants like Intel, Meta, Amazon, and Google setting up operations, driving up property prices and job opportunities.

I would want a concession on the sale price or a seller credit for this so that I can try to end up a little ahead for the hassle and also to keep the deal simple.

Sale price: $325,000 Bought my first property 2020 for my primary residence and was able to purchase another property in 2024.Moved into the new property and converted my 2020 property into a rental.

Purchase price: $119,000 Cash invested: $200,000 This is maybe a new Category: BRRRRSR Buy Renovate, Rent, Refinance, Repeat, Sell, Repeat.

The land is going for affordable prices in my area.

Some options I've considered: - Forward 1031:  Seems to have timing issues (unless my purchase offer has a contingency, which will most likely make my offer pointless in my market).- A reverse 1031: Complex, and possible financing issues for the initial purchase before selling.

Purchase price: $33,000 Cash invested: $6,000 3/2 on a quarter-acre lot in a rural setting.
