Challenge is that I have an exclusive agreement with the seller because they wanted to list it, but changed their mind.  

That's the challenge with doing a 1031 with multiple properties.

My team on the ground there handles everything from sourcing deals to renovation, and we've worked with hundreds of investors each year to make these properties cash flow.We’ve built up some solid relationships in Detroit—whether it’s general contractors, agents, or property managers who understand the ins and outs of Section 8.

While running a large group of small landlords in Philly, i have visibility into the full realm of challenges that new investors face - and some are quite overwhelming and totally unexpected because they jumped in without fully understanding what they jumped into. 

Most of the homes come with a one or two year warranty so we set it up so that they can communicate with the builder directly to handle maintenance issues.- Taxes are usually much lower the first year. 

I engaged my webmaster - SEO expert to handle it and she contacted Mailchimp and was able to secure a new account for us, with her listed as having the final authority to authorize a mailing.  24 mailing later never another problem.   

Other group homes for abused, veterans, and mental challenged usually have less opposition. 

Is most areas, this will determine who (Marshalls Office or Sheriffs Office) will handle the situation when it comes to the eviction.Some squatters know their rights and how to finesse the legal system so be ready for that.

When you are on the commercial side of the bank, and borrowing on the bank's balance sheet, they have a lot more flexibility to how they handle loans.  

They just seem to have the people and resources to best handle big issues like that.
