I call them hobbies.Things like baseball, bodyboarding, fishing, hiking, playing golf, being outdoors, playing craps in Vegas and of course real estate.When I am engaged in these activities they bring happiness and joy to my life.

@Eric Malone Wow friend, you have a Golden Goose asking to take up roost and your questioning about the roost.....Look, I will be the first to say I don't really have a clue how being an "influencer" works as an income, or why 90% of the followers give a squat, but I am fully aware how those persons are EXPERTS of the NEW beast of marketing and advertising, social media and engagement medium. 

I’m not a doctor nor am I a big player as this is my first venture into commercial single-tenant 1031 as I lived in the multi-family world for a long time.

I would love any advice just to learn more and engage with everyone!

But I'm really looking forward to engaging with the community and contributing in anyway I can.

@Devon RollisonYou need to engage someone who understands the income tax consequences of what you're proposing, and understands the US-Canada income tax treaty.The lawyer is only giving you the legal side.

These will generally be students or low-income earners, both of whom tend to be flighty, bad at maintaining property, and more likely to engage in drama.

I recommend using your Facebook...participate in local FB groups, post daily, engage with people. 

I have been told by a number of institutional players that NAA or state-level association is definitely the move, but it sounds like an unnecessary cost to me.

You should establish the rules of engagement with them as well.
