I have a call with them tomorrow, but are they legit?

Am I able to take out the original $50k and then roll over the $75k into a 1031 exchange without any tax implications?

To offset costs, I’m planning to buy a duplex and pursue a house-hacking strategy:1.Rent out one unit as a long-term rental.2.Live in the other unit and rent out the bedrooms as short-term rentals (STRs) through a furnished rental approach.Before diving in, I have a couple of questions:1.Can I use a property for both short-term and long-term rentals?

Building a solid investment profile takes time, but connecting with experienced investors is a great way to start.

Credit is not a refund.

It is no use buying a US property, if you can't open a US bank account or file a tax return.  

Quote from @Paul Graves: Hey everyone,I’m a realtor and small business owner (senior home health agency) in Columbus with a strong background in cold calling and prospecting (tens of thousands of calls, maybe more lol).

Unless you are getting a heck of a deal I would recommend avoiding a foundation issue property until you have a team of contractors that you can count on and can find out what the repairs would run. 

Appreciate any guidance.Best regards  There are a couple of types of SDIRAs.
