We are soon listing our first property for a 1031 exchange.

. $250K a unit is also somewhat realistic in those submarkets, though not impossible.Your best bet is a value-add strategy on something that has significant upside with a high growth submarket.

To buy a BIG property today, you will need to take on extreme leverage, make a big bet, convince mulitple other people to hand you hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, and then you have to be right, inside of a 3-5 year timebox, about your projections, supply, demand, expenses, and cap rates. 

How can I help you achieve your goals in exchange for you helping me?)

As Brie mentioned, you can not deny tenants because of their vouchers.There are other subsidies that you could look into besides CHA.I bet @Mark Ainley or @Jared Kott could provide some better context than me around the subject.

Over a week is crazy for an outage unless we are talking hurricane, tornado or fire.I am betting it is internal to the site.

Do they have the necessary resources to stay on top of all the tax issues such as 1031 exchanges, 754 Step-Ups, etc.Feel free to send me a private message if you have any questions here.  

Just investment for 2 years with no ROI or appreciation and you would have lost 1/3 of your money just on currency exchange. 

They  particularly love 1031 exchanges because they know you are not allowed to touch any of the proceeds.

Your best bet is to find someone doing the work in your area and picking his/her brain.
