I’ve bought several rentals that all have an average purchase price of 62k.

If your intent was to hold the property for productive use and you can demonstrate that wit past practice, documentation of conversations with your professionals, rental agreements, actual rent, etc then you could indeed do a 1031 because your intent was to hold and something external changed that intent.And the unsolicited offer is the gold standard of something that can change your intent. 

I have one that I bought that I like pretty good, it's pretty intuitive and user friendly.

Our other rentals were bought low enough to survive the crash. 

I bought my first rental property at 18 and built it to 32 doors in 23 years.

Hello everyone I’m Patrick and there is a auction coming up this summer for a rv park that is beyond run down about 20 spaces that have pre 90s rvs on them grass is two feet tall gravel road is almost impassable I mean it basically looks like a trailer scrapyard but it is directly next to hwy 35 just off a exit south of dallas anyway I thought since the rv park was so run down people may only value it for land and I could add value to the park by evicting the tenants and rehabbing the park I’m aware of the costs involved in such a task I’m a contractor in the area Never bought at auction though inexperienced in that regard if anyone has input or advice I’d love to hear it thanks

You found it, they bought it, you both can co-own it.If you're more of the "lone wolf" type, boost your income so you can buy your own rentals and start building that passive income so you can afford to not work your day job so hard.

The prices simply went too high, while rents didn't follow proportionally (IMO, because a lot of the house were bought by investors, thus the market rental saturation is quite high...and guess what, all those landlords are competing with each other and have to keep the rents lower to get them rented). 

Most houses get bought back from by the lender.

We bought 3 apartments, a mobile home park and over 30 houses that we kept for ourselves in those 6 months.
