So demand for travel is lowering back to historic levels while the supply of STRs in many markets has increased by a lot.

Therefore, you don't need to use a 1031 exchange; you can take as long as you wish to find and then buy another property.The only exception is if there is debt on a property, in which case there will be some UBIT (Unrelated Business Income Tax) implications.

Good luck and much success to you in your real estate business!

The city has seen revitalization efforts, especially in neighborhoods like downtown and the Third Ward, attracting new businesses and residents.

We're also seeking to buy a local (Raleigh / Durham) property management company to expand that business more rapidly.

Cost of value add was $120k, so over $580k of increase above costs.  

We have several vendor business members in the title space that are very investor friendly.

@Amir Twig I've never been a fan of cold calling but I agree that it's great for adding that personal touch to your business.
