A 1031 makes you a very motivated buyer, which is not ideal. 

I don't know your market, so I would not be able to advise you, but just consider the sellers motives and make the terms beneficial for both parties. 

Getting a bit tired of my current job (first out of college) given the demanding hours and really motivated to transition into making Real Estate investing a full-time occupation for me.

We've noticed a very strong increase in out of state investor interest in Oregon motivated by Oregon 1031X Exchange transactions and wanted to share some insight into alternative income producing asset classes that are common, attainable and available in Oregon. 

Such educational programs should be motivated by a desire to benefit the public.

It's a simple and understandable number when speaking to anyone even those who aren't investors and you can call it "vanity", but others might feel it motivating in that seeing their successes simply like that and it might help encourage them to press forward even when things are difficult.

They have motivation for closing.

But this space is changing rapidly and in jurisdictions like San Jose where housing is scare, expensive and government entities are motivated to do something about it, I predict we'll see appreciation and other key metrics play out in favor of properties with ADUs in the near future.

We all know how frustrating it is to deal with inept, crooked and ill motivated people in any type of the business.

But 1500 per month isn't that expensive if it helps you motivate, analyze, close and properly operate a self storage business it was just an investment in your growth towards your goals.
