Quote from @Diane Forgy:

I'm doing a decent size 1031 and waffling on a TIC in a syndication or going direct with a property. It is not my goal to be a hands on property manager as much as I would love to put it towards a property or properties. Tough decision and depends on where you are in life and how hard you want to work, or how smart you can work. Sounds like a lot of fun some days, and a nightmare others. Still poking around so I feel I have options.

Have everything set up in advance so there is very little on the "to do" list. Have markets identified and potential property, property management interviewed and chosen, insurance quotes, etc etc. Having just gone through my own 1031, I eliminated a lot of the stress by being ready once that 45 day identification clock started ticking, and the 180 day closing window. It was stressful enough, but this helped big time. Or just go DST/syndication and be relatively worry free. Personally, I'm at the door acquiring stage so it was a fit for me.

Hi Tiara, One of the easiest ways of scaling in real estate today is to invest in turnkey properties out of state. If you have a busy 9-5 routine but have the money to get started and don't have enough time, turnkey companies provide some of the best resources to scale your portfolio. I have used that strategy so feel free to reach out if you want to discuss.

Any websites with turnkey units you recommend aside from Evolve?

RentToRetirement.com is who I use. Turnkey new construction and rehabs. Great group of people and a nice way of starting your investment journey. @Zach Lemaster is the CEO and posts from time to time. Check out his profile and you'll find a lot of info.

@Dylan Thomas @Bernard Joseph S. Thank you both for the feedback. Baldwin County seems to be popular, would you say the town of Foley has potential?

Dylan would know better than me since he lives down there but from my visits, Foley is in a good location. Closer to the gulf then to Mobile and the Eastern Shore towns. Lots of new construction but that's everywhere in Baldwin. It's all about the deal no matter where you choose right? Feel free to reach out anytime if you want to discuss Bobby.

Baldwin County AL is an excellent choice but everybody knows about it now. The deals are harder to find in my experience but they exist. I'm actively looking for property there to go along with my Florida investments. Can't beat the Southeast to both live and invest...

I had a layover at the airport a couple weeks ago, nicest part of Detroit IMO lol

Kind of like Newark?

Lol, yep! Terminal A is new at Newark, so yea that’s the nice. The rest of the airport and city you can keep it

Newark. Detroit on the other hand, isn't given credit for all the great things that it has. The press for years has had their fun trashing it. Too bad they have their head you know where. It's easy to repeat what you've read. Just as easy to rate as city based on a layover at an airport.

Did I hurt your feelings Joe? Don't worry, you're a big boy, you'll be ok I promise. Like I said, the airport was nice. The rest of it, enjoy yourself, invest to your heart's content my man!
