House hacking a multifamily property is a fantastic way to get that REI ball rolling.

USPS seems to have dropped the ball on your package which is unfortunate however you did what you were legally required to do at the time. 

An MLB pitcher will say it is easy to throw 100mph fast ball, because he has spent the time doing it.  

Keep your eye on the ball and have some empathy for people who are having a hard time right now - tenants with actual hardship and landlords who are getting jerked around.The REAL enemy AS ALWAYS are the banks.

In an attempt not to just completely come in with a low ball offer I was attempting to understand what value does this double lot really add to the value?

Maybe the appreciation will help out some in 2-3 years, but I don't have a crystal ball to say how high rents will be in the future.New construction in the area starts around the mid 300s and rents are about 2k for the area.

Millions of Americans unable to pay rent during the pandemic.So many in financial burden that threatens to deplete their savings Some government action is protecting many, but not enough.Hey, my crystal ball is in the shop but I do have common sense.I speak to investors from the small fish to whales.The ones that own Multi-Family (including myself)... its ugly.It could take renters (especially low-income) years to recover.

That way you can get the ball rolling while you spend some time learning the various neighborhoods and where you want to stay away from.

But it's not really needed for you to get some ball park values on the 1031.
