Please reach out and say hi, or if people are local I'd be interested in hearing about local opportunities, bouncing ideas, or just meeting some fellow RE investing enthusiasts, whether you are a newbie like me or an experienced investor who may have use for an MBA mind in exchange for some knowledge.Tyler

You could also hire some people with mobility (not stuck behind a computer in the Philippines) in your area that are willing and able to market the properties for you in exchange for a small commission.

I bought my first deal in 2011 completely rehabbed the home then performed a 1031 exchange and bought three more SFH that I am currently renting out.  

Thus, ended up selling it to another investor at a loss under a 1031 exchange. 

Also I am anticipating no issues using a 1031 after the sale to move on to the next flip.  

We self manage by the way.We 1031'd the proceeds and have an incredible 14 unit River Market property under contract for just over $1.1.

Here in CA, all deposits and any other money exchanges are to be handled through escrow.

If I can add value to their business and receive funds for my projects in exchange its a win-win.

They are purchasing through a 1031 in their trust.
