I'm known in my market as an investor-friendly Realtor, and people bring me deals based on this reputation.

We are active on social media and we reach out to independent landlords, leave business cards on vacant properties, and reach out to local real estate agents.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I did connect with a realtor in Detroit from BP find an agent tool.I read a few comments from some of you currently investing in Detroit area.

I am not sure I am trusting enough to allow an agent to make those kinds of decisions.

We used the same agent that helped us purchase the property to find tenants.

I'm a Real Estate Agent in Dallas.

highlight_post=6644969&page=1#p6644969If you decide to do OOS investing, have lots of cash reserves, do lots of due diligence - talk to local investors, multiple property management companies, at least 3 agents and at least 3 contractors.

Assuming this is the case (and excluding agents fees, costs etc) would the capital gains tax on the second property be 40k (gain since the purchase 315k-275k), or would there be some kind of recapture from the first 1031 exchange.

If you want to be completely anonymous, you can use a Registered Agent.
