Selling multiple properties in a 1031 exchange to consolidate funds for one investment property is allowed, but the property must initially be used solely for investment.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Meetup.com is a good resource for those but some of the groups will also post here on Bigger Pockets Marketplace too.

But keep in mind if your using money you cant afford to get back then buying action property might not be appropriate for your current endeavors and its better to just buy open market were you can do proper due diligence and know you have a build-able site.

Thank you for your post.

Letters, post cards even calls are useless to this owner class.

You should connect with @Fed Finjap; I just saw on another post that he is also buying in the Chicago neighborhood ofLakeview and he recently went through some lessons learned on a 3 flat in Chicago.Check out his post:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/922/topics/1223655-refl...

Just like you said at the end of your post. 

An example would be no custom showers like the one in this post and using tub/ shower inserts instead.
