If you are not a "board game player", you can just come for the food and networking.

I've found nice pool tables there too, as well as video games and slot machines....

I was speaking with an investment sales broker today who said his gameplay is to tell sellers to stay the course and let buyers roll in offers...no need to cut your own legs out yet. 

Sounds like if you free up 1 conventional slot, you can buy 2 financed properties with a 1031 exchange. 

. ~ I don't like the game playing.

I installed a mail slot in my storage room and called it number 14!

This would free up the conventional slots for you to buy more.

In the meantime, I want to build up my investments so going back is even easier financially.I put a time slot on my calendar to follow up 03/22/21 with you here on BP.

I was in similar situation a couple of times this year and what I did was to ask for 2 or 3 hour window from the tenants and got them agreed; then arranged the showings in that time slot and was able to rent it out with just showing once (rent slightly below market). 

And as a result, not only wasting an agent's time in showing, but eating up a time slot that a qualifying person could have occupied.
