The title company I used to sell the first lot told me that now it's case by case, so I may or may not need to go through Tax Title Services for my next sale.

If you acquire leases that you MUST honor, then you may intend to occupy the property once the earliest lease is up.

But with 1031 how would I be able to use some of the proceeds from the sale for my first goal of buying myself a primary home.

Hey, there is a house that is for sale.

I waited until I knew enough about investing, to reduce my risk, before I pulled the trigger and made my first purchase.I'm taking massive action to acquire properties over the next 5-6 years and take advantage of the low interest rates.

Many of the properties for sale in Oakland right now are currently occupied.

Everyone who knows real estate sales knows even the simplest deals take a month or two or three(if your getting a loan).

By that I mean a company that will acquire and sell to me a distressed property, handle rehab I pay for, and then provide good leasing and property management in-house afterwards?

If the other couple wants to cash out, can they force the sale?

We started out with one rental, moved on to short sales for some time, then flips and now mostly buy and hold rentals.
