My strategy for this property would be to buy and hold for 5-8 years for the cash flow, then do a 1031 exchange for a larger property.

I am willing to do work for free in exchange for knowledge on how to be effective in this business.

Feel free to connect in case you want to exchange

I was trying to maximize my 130k in 1031 exchange money so I started looking out of state- ended up focusing on Ohio.

This doesn't quite go to the point of your question, but if you haven't already factored this in, you should look into doing a 1031 exchange to defer paying taxes on your sale.

What are you offering on exchange for help?
