This will expand your sphere of influence and eventually bring you some work.One tip: you can't just tell them you sell real estate.

I have no experience with BatchLeads or using county tax records for contacts, but I think as a new agent you should first focus more on working your sphere of influence and build up your social media presence.

We pursued a QOZ deal in Chattanooga for a mixed-use 141 acre project and spent over $100k in legal fees alone to help us navigate the complexities of OZ law. 

OZ's look interesting as a place to put 1031 funds. 

I'm confident this is the kind of action that will develop the reputation that you don't want to have in your sphere. 

There're also many alternatives outside 1031 like Oz, dst or installment sale.For 1031 exchange, the most difficult part is actually not 1031 itself but verifying and do the due diligence of the replacement property and the strategizing for that.With the very low-interest rate in today's rate, eviction and the availability of Sec 121 sometimes I do think the best replacement is the house that we can use our own, either as primary or vacation homes.

We're liking the numbers a SFH portfolio like this can generate (when buying the right houses) compared to the variety of other options we've evaluated: DST, TIC, NNN, Multifamily, OZ.

@Ken Oz Great info, I will definitely be contacting them.

Work your sphere of influence. 

Although, don't neglect your sphere!
