But wait, we have stated earlier that Cap Rate is determined by the market and property owners can NOT lower or raise cap rate (i.e. property owners can NOT control market cap rate).

Being in a sales role means you have almost complete control of your income and thereby how much and how quickly you can save.

For example, I can't give referral fees to non-lawyers for bringing me clients because I can't have a controlled business arrangement with non-lawyers. 

Learn how to Masterlease, Lease/Option, or use Options to control property without ownership.

But 90% of the entire market is controlled by agents not only in the top 1% of their profession...but they also happen to be in the top 1% of income earners in the country. 

Hi @David de Luna, I don't have any personal experience with lease options, but I do remember thinking that the podcast episode 185 with Bill Powers on that topic was really informative: https://www.biggerpockets.com/…  Highly recommend checking it out if you haven't yet, maybe it'll answer some of your questions.

Since each lender controls it’s own money you will have to call around to ALL the banks to learn about all the programs.

In that case it is to your benefit to sell as yourself and do the 1031 buying as a disregarded LLC.A good QI will walk you through these options and be your guide through the maze of federal regulation.BTW - DSTs are delaware Statutory Trusts. 

Unless you invest via an LLC owned by the IRA, you will not have checkbook control over the funds which means you need to run transactions (e.g. income, expenses, etc.) through the trust company who will need time to process the transactions and generally charge fees for each transaction.
