I love technology and design, so I figured I would get my Masters in Architecture, and eventually be an architect-developer.  

Does anyone have any investor friendly real estate agent and property management recommendations ideal for 1-4 unit properties?

However, there is talk that this area could re-develop in the near future.

I am also pursuing a masters in RE development starting summer of 18’.

I got my GC from a developer and apartment owner.

I'm planning to 1031 the sale into another property.My ideal situation is to 1031 this duplex into a new construction  duplex.Question is how do I do it? 

As far as books, after having read a lot of them over the past couple of years here's what I would suggest. 1) Start with personal development books 2) Next move on to business books 3) From there pick up some real estate books.

That date arrives next week and I will begin the mortgage approval process on that day.I think it's important to develop a goal and work towards that goal every day.

I haven’t done it myself, but from what I have heard of you have a desirable area and can cater specifically to the needs of your ideal tenants, you can get a much better ROI on a short-term rental.

But now I'm thinking of venturing out.I had always run under the assumption that buying plots of land and developing couldn't really be profitable in my area, as land prices immediately around me can be a bit insane.
