If you're struggling finding suitable real estate to put your 1031 into though you may think about purchasing some oil mineral or gas interests.  

I'm excited to be a part of the BP community and I look forward to working with many people from here in the near future.I've spent my entire professional career (8 years) in the oil and gas field, and I am finally ready to escape the rat race.

@Lori SturgeonYeah you have some valid points.

Your concern for buying at the top is valid and shouldn't be taken lightly.

The tenant has also paid on time for the past 6 years (validated via records).I've recorded clear cosmestic damages made by the animals like scratching up door frames and the like.

You will spend money on gas, bandit signs, yard signs and whatever advertisement you decide to promote with.

@Jay Hinrichs thank you for your very different and valid perspective.

They can list a large number of properties with just one assistant.The 4 other buyer brokers that lost out get to go find another property again and waste time and gas so when something does close it is a reduced return.I work with lot's of buyers on the commercial side but it is number crunching from my office, e-mails, and phone calls and not driving people all over creation like with residential.    

Another thing you will want to address is the possibility of the presence of lead based paint, asbestos, or radon gas, this is another area for questions and answers you will want to have. 

If a note is found to be out of compliance, errors or negligence of any previous note holder, the note may not be a valid debt or collectible and you'll be wanting that seller to buy it back.
