Just needed to hear from others who’ve been down this road.

@Joshua Norwood you've identified exactly why the 50% rule is trash in my opinion. 

There are timelines to be aware of to locate, identify, and close on the replacement property in the exchange, so understanding those well in advance of any property sale you hope to exchange is major component.Now, if you're simple looking for one investors opinion here is mine (and worth the price you paid).

Some time down the road they may want to clean up their credit and negotiate with you. 

Make sure each deal you improve parts or all of your process and you'll be able to find an efficient way to identify, qualify, finance, acquire, and manage your deals.Find a way to get your first deal with the resources and network you currently have and through experience you'll expand your knowledge, skills, resources, and network as you go.

I'm always interested in new opportunities and Wilmington is just a few hours down the road.

We have identified two but this is our top choice but our budget is closer to $120k is that something even worth submitting in writing in your opinion?

Hello, I am a real estate investor in Atlanta focused in wholesaling. What apps or resources are other investors/wholesalers utilizing to save time and make their tasks/processes more efficient?
