@Brandon Phelps , by doing a 1031 you won't have a lot of time to identify properties, so If you want to run the business, you could get a package of properties that all together are valued at at least 1.2million, or buy one property at that price that will give you great cash flow.

I am more of a saver on little daily things like food.  

If you’re interested to take a peek at my underwriting and current and future deal packages, feel free to PM me so we can block some time on my calendar and talk things over.

If you are approaching owners of tax delinquent or neglected properties in the Philly area, I would like to offer this as food for thought. 

If you buy a pre-packaged product, you can't change any of it's processes, your stuck with it.

I know I looked at a package of properties to purchase over the weekend and the landlord we met with insisted that he ran a tight ship and said all his tenants were current.

I'll buy lunch or coffee for those in the Phoenix area (hooray free food!). 

Oh, and for some for not-so-good news this property happens to have bed bugs and a putrid smell from animals & rotting food in the fridge.

Stories and stories about his airplane experience, some examples about pre-foreclosures and foreclosures BUT only would work as he says if you get his Diamond Package, otherwise you won't have access to it.

Do you have the time and skills to source the property, perform a successful rehab, and get a good tenant in place, or is that time and knowledge better just bought in the property package?
