@Theresa Harris thank you Theresa, I'll go ahead and do that.

Hey Nathan,You’re approaching this the right way by planning ahead on both the acquisition and long-term financing side.

Go ahead and start building relationships now with an investor-friendly agent like myself, plus property management, lending, and hard-money contacts, so when you’re ready to execute your exchange, your full team is already in place and you can move confidently.

And that’s how this business is built.If you’re a few steps ahead of me, I’d love to hear from you:What tool helped you book your first appointment?

You’re already thinking like an investor—if you stay consistent with your business, build your reserves, and connect with the right people locally, you’ll be way ahead of the curve when it’s time to pull the trigger on your first property.

You’re asking the right questions early, which puts you ahead.

Repairs are inevitable, but getting ahead of them greatly reduces that.

It hurt in the moment, but within 2 years they were miles ahead financially because they got into the right assets. 

Hey Stephanie,Totally understand your situation — if liquidity is your main priority right now, then it makes sense to just go ahead and pay the taxes instead of locking the funds up in a DST or 1031.

You technically don’t need to give notice to enter common areas since those aren’t part of the tenant’s leased premises, but it’s still best practice to give a heads-up if you’ll be doing something disruptive (repairs, inspections, etc.).If tenants are using common spaces for personal storage or plugging in appliances, that’s definitely something you should address.
