@Satya NagarajanWell there were a lot of issues you brought up in those last few lines. 

i just signed contract on this property in jersey. my thoughts is to flip. the investor that i approached says it a good buy. 

The properties that I sold were not on the market for sale and somebody approached me about buying them and I sold for a price that I was comfortable with.But the new properties that I would want to acquire have to meet certain criteria:1. 

A broker friend who lives in New England has brought a deal to me that he wants to go in on 50/50.  

Both in need of a reno.This is a fake evaluation I can't afford anything right now and I'm just trying to relearn my approach after my last house was just short sold In VA beach.

I haven't sold my existing investment property yet (fingers crossed for a closing next week), so the 45-day identification period hasn't officially started, but I'm trying to formulate my strategy to make sure I make the most of it.What are your best approaches to "buy right" so to speak when you're up against the 1031 clock and battling a competitive market?

Rather than being a "nuisance" call, I approach it as a chance to make sure we keep our units in the best condition to encourage our good tenants to stay.

How would you approach this in my shoes?

Looking to see how people have automated or semi automated it.Also interested in feedback on best approach- letters or postcards and is there a way to save on bulk postage

Only three hours after closing you are approached with a sweet deal so you decide to sell the rental.
