Work on your numbers - calculate potential cash flow and ROI.

Facebook marketplace is a great place to find potential tenants.

That gave me a bit more comfort because I wasn't sure if I'd have to fork out for an attorney before I could bid and I was wary of potentially bidding, not winning anything, and then being out of pocket for legal fees.Feel free to PM me if you want more attorney details.

You will meet wholesalers, investors, agents, lenders, etc at these events that you can meet face to face and potentially partner with and learn from.

Looking potentially buy a property out there. 

Hi Timmy, I recently interacted with the City's Planning staff about a listing that had an existing structure that seemed to at least have potential for an ADU.

While some less experienced Realtors may shy away from courthouse sales due to the complexities involved, I recognized the tremendous potential this presented and dove in headfirst.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Could you provide granularity on costs segregated and potential assets?  

I'm wondering why would the rate increase when the risk goes down with an occupied property?

If you do decide to have a "partial" 1031 exchange and use some of your 1031 sale proceeds to pay off debt on other assets, you'll just want to make sure that the improvement in cash flow offsets the tax liability that you incur from your partial exchange AND the lower rents from potentially buying a less valuable property with your partial 1031 exchange.
