You have to set these things up correctly however with the proper structure.When you keep doing 1031's the property or properties have to be at the same amount basis or higherI am not an expert tax accountant or an estate planner so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Hopefully Wayne from Wyoming will provide his expert legal opinion.

Second I assume you are looking for single family houses for long term rentals to hold and not rehabs or commercial properties.If that's the case you need to be very careful investing from afar in single family houses as the dynamics are different.Do not be sold on a property where they say it's CLOSE to this great area etc.Instead look at population growth, quality of schools, the economic planning department, permits pulled for building, whether the state is business friendly and whether it is a pro-tenant or pro-landlord state, median income levels, job growth, and crime levels ( violent versus non-violent offenses ) etc.Many more metrics to look at but this will get you started.

I've bought one piece of property in my life, a condo that I lost to foreclosure during the economic crash.I came to BiggerPockets after a Google search.

I am excited about joining Bigger Pockets and cannot wait to learn from others as well as give my expert advise on issues pertaining to real estate investments.

The first item to go in the fire will be my husband's sawzal, because when I reach that goal I never want to see anything that has to do with demolition or remodeling again. ( :I'm hoping I can learn and get ideas on how to reach this goal from the experts on this site.

Hey @Shaun AndersonOne question that I might have of the property related to occupancy relates to the economic occupany.

I'm not an expert on wholesaling, but is the person selling (A) to you (B) cool with you making a 4k profit w/ the new buyer (C) by assigning the contract?

I am certainly no expert in handyman type matters but it almost looks to me that this might be a 'Molly Screw'.

I'm no expert, though, I've always found mine through word of mouth.Even if it is, I can't imagine FINRA doing much more than telling you to stop at that scale.I've borrowed well into 7 figures from individuals.
