Marketing campaign or agent for 1031 exchange?

[Sharon Dittrick]

Hi everyone,    I am very excited to be here.  I have wanted to try real estate investing for awhile, and I have decided the time is now to get out there and make things happen.  I have one rental property that I am going to sell and use the proceeds to invest in a small multifamily apartment building in Colorado.  

Should I use a real estate agent or a marketing campaign to find the other half of my 1031 exchange?

@Sharon Dittrick the tight time lines of the 1031 make a direct mail marketing campaign tough to pull off unless you start well before your actual sale.  But that being said I'd use every avenue available to you so you can get the perfect replacement
