Welcome to BiggerPockets, @Ryan Pounds.

I have a friend who's done it a few times, but for the most part it's pretty tough because it's hard to find the best deals unless you're here to pound the pavement.

Keep pounding the pavement It takes time but when the right deal comes along you'll be ready to pounce upon it like a cheetah.

Pity that all Wholesaler wannabes (including you @Jason Harris) don't get those sort of details POUNDED into them.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.Do your due diligence up front and it will save you a lot of grief and $$$ later.

Probably cost you $1000 all in and you'd probably get a deal done.When people hear 1031 they think "Overpaying is better than giving a pound of flesh to the IRS, I bet I can get a great price for my apartments from this buyer."

It doesn't hurt to ask but I would be expecting the seller to tell you to go pound sand, if they even reply.

All they can do is tell you to pound sand, so offer it.
