Markets are local, but I'm always curious to see what's going on in the rest of the country :)  

Hey @Mary Carmelo, I'm based in LA and when I'm looking to connect with local investors I google search for local REI meetups, conferences, and even property listings or developments.

BP needs to develop AI and use Jay answer as the most "trustable" and "genuine" answer without any string attached.I still remember to this day Jay advice to buy the house that's on median price for that local.

@Jennifer Burgener There’s really no reason to stay local with a 1031 company unless it’s just personal preference.
