@Ricky Sanchez One of the requirements of doing a 1031 exchange is that the tax-payer for the relinquished property has to be the same for your replacement property.

Tell them you want to do a Commercial Loan using Cross Collateralization with the first property.

What do you do as a Consultant?

Quote from @Andrew McArthur: Hi all, I'm from Toronto and been doing research into South Carolina's Multifamily market, specifically Greenville, Charleston, Columbia. 

That helps get you in the mix of people doing what you want to do in your market.

Quote from @Jason Baker: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: when you say no fee,  no split.. how do you expect the brokerage to make any money ???  

Is this what you would do? 

Working full time, another cause for paralysis is not having time to do a reno or handle tenants.

I would love to meet and network to people in South Florida , and find a mentor or someone who has taken a similar investment route that I am doing from flipping to owning rental properties.Really just meet likeminded people.
