Does anyone have any recommendations/recent experiences with 1031 qualified agents?

I think for the average 1 rental owner, it's simply too much fuss, and the opportunity cost of that time and energy is either relaxing, or doing other things to maximize bookings like interior design.I think the industry in general suffers from bombarding new hosts with 10,000 things to do in month 1 (OTA, direct booking sites, linking calendars, specific smart locks, etc.) when in reality most owners should probably list on the most relevant platform for their area in year 1, develop a rhythm and learn a few basics, and then start looking into improvements from there.Certainly with multiple properties it starts to become a more compelling argument.  

Some MICs in Canada may diversify their portfolio to include anything from smaller second residential mortgages to mortgages for commercial development properties.I have found in my experience working with B lenders (i have a long list of them) is that each MIC has its own investment strategy. 

There are only really 3 relevant ones: 1. do more work in the property then anyone.

Anyone have experience with this company or know more about it?

I only comment on things that I have personal first-hand experiences, and I hope others would do the same.

He goes all out for guest experience though, well above the average host with car service, butlers, constantly upgrading amenities.For me it keeps coming back to a simple fact:  to beat the average, don't be average. 

Ask how many units they manage and how much experience they have.

Whether it's off-market properties, distressed assets, or value-add opportunities, I'm open to exploring various options.Thank you all for welcoming me into this community, and I look forward to engaging with you and learning from your experiences.

After these bad experiences I went out on a hunt a interviewed 4 different CPA firms and went with the current ones we have now because they answered all the right questions and worked with hundred of investor clients.
