@Jordan Northrup, Sorry to say but securities are specifically exempted from 1031 treatment.  

I am looking for companies that submeter water in the New Jersey area.

Howdy @Jordan PufferFirst I sincerely mean this.  

For the most part that is true however, after reading a book called "The Deallionaire" by investor John Lee from Missouri (He was a guest on the Jennifer Hammond show), He talks about selling properties that he has bought  for less than $1000 using both conventional and unconventional means such as advertising a property via craigslist, social media marketing or selling through realtors and word of mouth.I'm mainly looking to venture into North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Texas and possible New Jersey for this.I have heard both John Lee and Ankit Duggal (A guest on Bigger Pockets show) mention buying into tax deed/tax liens AFTER the main auctions by simply requesting a list of properties that were still unsold. 

I recently renovated my duplex in an upscale area of north jersey. 

New Jersey property taxes are also very high.

Has anyone dealt with Close now Funding based out of New Jersey ?

I recently sat in a seminar for "success path " in New Jersey , and it seemed very skeptical... has anyone gone through there process successfully?

Listen what I would do is drive around the neighborhood you can afford around 6pm if the bus stops have lots of people making there way from work there is one money to be made and two a community of decent ppl there I'm not sure if u have children if not living in a bad neighborhood isn't always as bad as it seems besides the money you collect in a year or two may propel you toward your real aspirations faster than not making the move and no matter where you buy your choosing the tenant so set a base line of what you will and won't accept and stick to it people live in Baltimore, New York, New Jersey all places that once where **** holes that have taken some major steps toward change but more importantly they made a big bag of money from those horrible hoods
