We live in Northern Florida and manage our 10 long term rentals and do flips in northern Florida and we decided not to go that route with this south Florida home after we started digging into it.  

I am 20 years old and this year I decided to take my path into the real estate world.

I would request they pay rent the usual way, and then you can decide whether or not you want to utilize the app in the future. 

My focus is on finding lots or land for new construction, opportunities for fix-and-flip projects, long-term rental holds, or multi-family investments.At 42 years old, I have decided to leave the corporate world behind after 22 years.

Or you could decide that you're going to hang in there for family/legacy reasons, and keep raising the rent whenever the market supports... and whenever you turn over a set of tenants.

I was recently let go so I decided to start my own business.

I want to earn my clients business and if for some reason they decide the relationship isn't working then they should walk away (but don't leave your agent high and dry haha).Commission is completely negotiable.

These things will help you decide what is the right fit for you!  

My idea is to 1031 the SoCal property into the in-laws farm and rent back to them for a minimum of two years, and then decide if we keep renting it to my in-laws, or move my family into it.

Once the property is owned directly by the partners, each partner can individually decide to engage in a 1031 exchange with their share of the property.
