I have been working in the financial services industry for almost 10 years now and thus had quite some exposure to other areas of investing (from private markets to public markets).

Public Sales of Real Estate vary with State Law.  

I am looking to go full bore investing after I get this experience under my belt.

I work full time on the commercial side, consulting role, but also have my license and do part time residential work. 

I have a full time property scout/admin and she sent the property to me as a laugh.

,I've found Zillow to be more useful since it draws from the public records and provides links to the county websites where available.

I kept that license for about 30 years but I never did that full time.  

Do I have full rights to rent out rooms in my 5500 sq foot house?

Full disclosure: through these opportunities, you may lose money, but you also may generate significant above market returns.

you can use the proceeds to purchase two different properties and to secure the full 1031 Exchange Benefits, you need to ensure the combined value of both properties is equal to or greater than the relinquished property, less reasonable closing costs, which does not include the payoff of a mortgage.
