Hi y'all! I just wanted to say hi and introduce ourself. I am currently a Seattle longshoreman and have been for the last 20 years. My wife and I have been in the direct sales industry for over 4. My wife has a real estate background with commercial property management experience. We bought a home in Puyallup, WA back in 2006 that we quickly out grew and unfortunately couldn't sell 5 plus years ago to get into our new home so we've been renting it with zero vacancy but now ready to sell with current home in Orting, Wa and looking to relocate and invest in the Spokane, Wa area.
Hoping to connect with some of you that have some experience in 1031 exchanges and in these areas to make our transition smooth and profitable.
We are extremely excited to start our investing journey.
Hey @Paul Laufer, welcome to Bigger Pockets! You'll meet lots of great people here! If you are ever visiting the area this direction, I'd love to grab coffee and chat real estate. I'm happy to introduce you to some other great local colleagues as well.
Hi, @Paul Laufer welcome to Bigger Pockets. I am sure you will find a lot of helpful information about 1031's on here and meet good people with common interests in the Spokane area as well. In the meantime, I live in Orting as well. If you have any questions feel free to reach out.
@Paul Laufer Brandon Turner posted a video on YouTube yesterday that gave a great explanation on 1031 exchanges. I would recommend that you identify a qualified intermediary for the exchange and ask a lot of questions. A good intermediary will guide you successfully through the process.
