I did send a message through Instagram to Mindy, but I don't think she was active.

My other project years back was searching for active businesses to buy, at one time laundromats, many located downstairs in mixed use properties. 

I'm getting to a point where I might want to pursue a lender for future investments but am trying to understand how these lenders choose people to work with.These types of lenders are called "Hard Money" because they are not betting on the borrower. 

You can use the 1031 to sell a larger unit that provides better cash flow while minimizing active management.You can either try to cluster those sales together so they close in a way that lets your replacement property be listed on each 45 day period and you close on it within 180 days of the first sale (the first exchange that will expire).Or you could do something like a reverse exchange where your Qi purchases the new property and holds it for you for up to 180 days while you sell all of your properties. 

Quote from @Robert Quiroz: Hello All,I will have around $1M in capital that I'm looking to generate 8-10% CoC returns for the purpose of replacing active income. 

I’ve heard about home equity loans and HELOCs, but I want to keep my money in the stock market to maintain some diversification.My question is: would it be wise to take out a home equity loan for the full $200k to keep my stock investments active?

Brother I'm really sorry to hear your story, really Charissa Nappoles and Rober Mincey is the worst composition, I bet they make tons of kickbacks and don't give a **** on what they are really doing

When someone becomes motivated, they actively search for solutions to their problem.

You get to make offers on your own and potentially save on buyer's commission.I wouldn't recommend if you already have an active income that is serving you well because it would be better to invest time in that endeavor if that's the case.
