Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Hi All - When selling a property with the intention of immediately buying another building via a 1031 exchange, can anyone recommend strategies for removing or at least lessening the risk of running out of time to meet the 1031 deadlines?

What do you recommend.

I also recommend that you attend some local real estate investment meetup groups.

I recommend that you look at Notice of Defaults, Vacants, Tax Liens or Probate. 

I highly recommend them.  

If so, I’d recommend investing in your own backyard as opposed to going out of state.

Sullivan recommends the cooperative ownership model as the ideal structure for MHPs what is stopping you from forming either a high or low equity co-op and purchasing the park from SCI?

You reference taking out a HELOC and those are generally provided when the property is in your personal name, which I don't recommend for investment properties.Overall, it sounds as if you're tired of dealing with "long distance" ownership.
