@Jarib RivasI don't have an idea of the effect of a trade war on real estate markets but I think it's an interesting question.My hunch would be that the relative purchasing power of the dollar (and then it follows value of real estate backed by dollars) is affected by the exchange rate.Would be curious if others with a more academic and analytical macro economic and finance mind will weigh in....

You could offer full asking price in exchange for 100% owner financing structured in any way that works for you.

So, 100% is possible and in exchange, you would not be in 100% control. 

Loan paydown, zero down or low down up front in exchange for low to no cash flow?

That's not to say in the future I can't sell some and do a 1031 exchange for some multifamily.  

Offer value without asking for anything in exchange. 

If your rental is $800/month positive and you're anxious to expand, I would consider doing a cash-out refinance on your rental as interest rates are very low right now.If you do decide to sell your rental, I'd highly recommend doing a 1031 exchange.

My question is, is it feasible to offer to be a handyman for a mentor in exchange for their time?

Tenants just moved out of a house that I've been renting out for 12 years, and I'm planning to sell it and do a 1031 exchange to buy a multi-family property if I can find one. 

I am 1 year into a property I 1031 exchanged into.
