Of the 10.8 million left, say as many as 20% are readily found, are single guys, and are just kinda floating around with no real direction or anything going on at all.

@Kyle Carter You cannot directly use a 1031 exchange to purchase a primary residence, as the IRS mandates that the replacement property must be used for investment or business purposes.

have strong desire to venture in real estate and have read books about real estate and the book I'm currently reading directed me to get more insights from here!

.- Large remodels or construction projects (Live in Flip) can be self-managed, worked on directly, and the value add, after 2 years, is largely tax free up to certain limits. - Many areas around the country allow for ADU Construction - house-hackers enjoy similar benefits to remodeling projects by being naturally on-site for ADU construction. 

I think I can help point you in the right direction in terms of resources to help pump life into yuour project.

Whichever direction you go, be sure to work with folks who understand this and gives you the confidence to take reasonable action - I'd personally take an okay investment and weather the storm for a few years that will eventually perform well, and do that each year - rather than take 3 years to wait for the best deal possible.

You can not call the specialist or doctor directly but their board information or business info will be registered with the state.

Go direct to seller, learn to source your own deals and you will be successful  

High 6s to mid 7s is more realistic for the most common deals (70%+ LTV).Also, the FFR doesnt really directly impact mortgage rates.

He is a direct lender, not middleman broker fees.
