I'm actually about to start this process on a property I've owned for a while and convert to a MF property maybe in Detroit. I have also come to understand that you can use a 1031 exchange numerous times, so converting an MF to another property or multiple is possible. I'm going to use an accommodator to manage my exchange. Unfortunately it has to be a like kind (investment to investment), so no owner occupant for 12 months minimum.

Thank you for the responses!!! Good to see the community is active here. Jonathan, I'm keen on the meet up when I get there. I will be out of the area frequently if you will, but am interested in networking and talking with people. Melanie, I will be back roughly in December, but I intend on stopping in Norfolk to do some shopping while I'm on my "holiday". I'm mostly assuming that you are going to be in my area of Spain. I'll PM you and we can chat a little....I have done some heavy looking on realtor.com and have some properties I'm moderately interested in already.

Hello Bigger Pockets community! I'm Chris. I currently am living in the Costa de la Luz region of Spain, but I am soon moving back to the United States to Norfolk, Virginia. I'm originally from Dallas, Texas.

I currently own a condo in Hawaii I'm going to turn over soon after over 10 years of ownership. This was the second home I've purchased. I've rented it for 7 years now. I'm looking to get into multi-family properties like duplex, triplex, 4-plexes and possibly small apartment buildings. I've been entertaining getting into the Detroit market, but will also be buying a primary residence in Norfolk in the Ocean View area. I'm active duty military currently, and am retiring in the next 5 or so years and intend on working for myself owning multiple homes/apartments. I joined biggerpockets.com thanks to lots of Google search questions and research I've been doing on real estate and multi-family unit ownership. Looking forward to being a part of the community here!
