Thanks to reading material on BP, I'm renting out the condo from 2013 - 2016 to some ideal long-term tenants, and make about $100 in positive cashflow every month (my primary purpose was just to have them cover the condo mortgage + insurance + property taxes + HOA dues + maintenance costs until the condo appreciated enough with the recovering market to sell for a profit).

(mainly for investment purposes)My background is in sales I currently work for full-time in telecommunications.  

We are very interested in multi purpose properties (commercial/ residential) in the University City - South City area.

Dial in your list and your message and don't be afraid to tell people that you buy houses for investment purposes.

I have become good at analyzing properties for investment purposes and if I find a good deal I will be the first to jump on it.

It is used for screening purposes when you are consider a new deal.

The source does not matter for 1031 Exchange purposes. 

For cash flow purposes, Los Angeles is terrible and the rent control is only favorable to the tenants.

What is the purpose of  the blog and who do you want as readers? 

You're house would not qualify for purposes of sec. 1031 but there are a few exceptions to the 2 year use period.
