I am from the Chicago area and looking to purchase my first property in the next 3-6 months. 

(You said you could purchase them $20-$15,000 below market value. 

Purchase price will be around $400-450K. 

Quote from @Michael Overall: Good day, If an investor has 10 rentals and wanted to over time sell them and put the money tax free from a 1031 toward a large purchase is there a process to do that?
