So I got a tenant application who has a credit score of about 520 and same for spouse.

The mortgage payments today are 98% higher than 2020.

So the QI for your 1031 cannot do anything else for you other than administer the 1031 exchange. 

Further, I’m leaning more towards SFR than apartments.

Off market deal fell into my lap and negotiated a cash offer using a line of credit How did you finance this deal?

The costs are lower but the commute is easy making it the perfect sister city to HSV and thus I believe powerful from an investment stance.

They don't care about your property, won't suggest the improvements, and just live of you.I self manage AirBnb in Seattle and hired a remote PM in another property and should admit that if the PM is not local I could do the work and take care of the property much better than a hired PM.
