The 'clearance' above the ceiling is full of 1960's era powdered insulation so good luck pulling wire.They are using my tile guy & he is tearing out what's left of his hair trying to get work done & he's been there 3 weeks.

We still have plenty of dry powder to put to work and like you are continuing to look for off-market deals, we have a number of LOIs out but as you know the demand for this asset type is growing, pricing is pretty rich and it's often hard to convince owners to sell.  

Mix up the powder according to the directions, put it into weedkiller pump sprayer, and sprayer the walls just until it starts running.

Boric acid - white dry powder - plus no water or any liquid.They will be gone in couple days

@Germain Mopa I have properties in Powder springs.

I'd rather have the dry powder earning 2% in a money market acct ready for an opportunity than cap my ROI at 4.5%. 

The heloc gives you dry powder that doesn't cost you anything until you need it. 

My mother, who lives in Powder Springs, Georgia in the Atlanta area is in need of a bit of help.

Of course a year from now the landscape could be entirely different so it is key to keep your powder dry and options open till then.There are a couple of twists to a 1031 that may allow you to still benefit from one and yet re-position your money to your benefit as well.1. 1031 into an alternative real estate investment.  

Just FYI I'm keeping my powder dry until I'm sure I have everything lined up to buy.
