@Alex Hymanson  you should read the book...Storing Up Profits. 

I bought 6 unit property in Wildwood,NJ,in November 2024, doing rehab now,  should be done by May 2025I am planning to subdivide 6 unit building to 6 separate condos and sell fall 2026, , if there are any experts in 1031 that can help me?!

We bought for my mother to live in.

I believe that real cash flow only comes from short term rentals bought right, which are a lot of work, or paid off long/mid term rentals. 

Good Morning BP,I bought my first house last year in Suffolk, Virginia just to get started in the real estate game.

@Ricky Hernandez  We bought in two different communities that had no rental restrictions then later imposed cap of 10% rentals. 

I took a small private loan and bought my first home.

those properties sitting on the MLS property won't work... because if they would, someone else would have bought them already. 

. $5,000 is still pretty cheap for land though unless the land was bought long ago.
