I’m thinking this is a 1031 deal where someone bought something they didn’t really want but felt pressured to buy to avoid taxes.

One one hand, this is good, since I have 90 days to rehab the house I want, instead of feeling the pressure to be done in 30 days or less, but finding out that I can't sell it for 90 days is insane.

They will not trade away being in and around a city for anything.There’s also a missing piece here which is the adaptability of cities to reshape to be a post Covid environment.From my perspective what we’re seeing at Vendorable is a lot more pressure on traditional office commercial and single business tenancy cluster commercial, less so on residential.Hope this helps, it’s a moveable feast at the moment though it seems - so my thoughts could change next week based on new info!

So I got my real estate license, however, I am working at a place that still feels like I'm in a rat race because people are competing left to right and the pressure is there.

If you are in no hurry to own a personal residence, then you shouldn’t feel pressured to buy one first.
