In these arrangements, homeowners can receive a lump sum payment in exchange for a share of their home’s future appreciation.

I’m doing my first 1031 exchange and will be netting about $200k.  

As a Broker myself in California I woulld say hands down a 7 day listing for an exchange of a buyer is in your favor.  

I bet that you have a few keywords set up, and regularly chime in when your market and/or specific strategies pop up.

Your best bet is to establish a website and do SEO for that market.

I borrow dollars from the bank and immediately sell those dollars to owners of commercial income property that I want to own.And then I buy those dollars back over time using the cash our tenants pay us in exchange for using our space.I'm currently shorting $10M and I can't lose regardless of who wins on 11/5By the way, the dollar will always decline in value so this thesis is applicable in any election or economic cycle.Go vote for whoever you feel strongest about, but remember you have infinite more power and that which is within your direct control. 

Now he uses property managers and I would bet dollars to donuts those professionals aren't offering cash for keys.I have 15 years experience managing 400 rentals and I have never offered cash for keys.

Your best bet is working with a licensed agent who can pull accurate MLS data and understand what you are doing... 

1031 exchanges have been interesting to me, although, outside of a DST, they still require active management.I received an invitation from a well regarded real estate developer to 1031 exchange into an acquisition they are doing. 

"yes you can defer depreciation recapture in a 1031 exchange."
