Although 1031s are still getting done, takes more planning in this current market 

Yes, all of the above, some people will continue to pay for a full service agent, some people will pay for a discount, some people will forgo agents all together, I think we will see alot more variation then we currently see, but just like any other business there will be tiers, Ritz, Marriott, Courtyard, Fairfield inn but for agents. 

Currently I own 1 SFR, 2 duplex's and will close on another SFR in April 2014.

My name is Josh, I live in Oklahoma City, and I am currently working in insurance.

I am currently in negotiations for buyout, it appears non protected are holding firm at 40k total and the protected tenants want 85k total. 

I'm currently looking at doing the same thing. except buying one that already exists.

I currently live in New England, but looking to relocate my family to NC.

BUT they go into what they're currently working on, what/who they're seeking at this event, and I get a good sense of where they're at along their journey.One of the best books I read on the subject of effective networking/relationship building was Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazi. 

The property would rent long-term for $2,500 currently.

I was able to find a few lenders that would be willing to finance the project, but after breaking down the numbers I found that this project will not be feasible given the current interest rates and market rent.
