(Okay, I’ll back off on the family and friends.)When I dedicate 45 minutes giving thoughtful advice in response to a DM, and the person doesn’t even respond with a thank you, they should owe me $125.

That depends, but you can see from a bunch of posts on here that so far you're getting shafted performance-wise because a bunch of people aren't getting any dividends during a time when they could easily be earning 4-5% or more in a basic bank CD.

After that they get a 7-day curable notice with a $45 posting fee.

I know some mentioned about developing banking relationships and I totally agree with that, so here is what you do. 1) Open a business checking account in the name of your LLC to hold the assets. 2) Deposit your cash into that account to fund the real estate purchases3) After owning for 60-90 days, talk with a local lender about a line of credit against the 2 properties at 60% LTV. 4) After about 30-45 days, have the line open to use if you need that liquidity that you used, but until then you are not paying 7% interest on nothing. 

Chart below shows last 45 years, about 14% in sp500 and 8.7% in rental income producing real estate, nominal not real.so maybe if the 1% rule is telling you that single family rentals are too expensive?

I'm trying to confirm the final replacement property identification deadline because the IRS issued a Disaster Notice that may extend my 45 day deadline.My qualified intermediary says they will not confirm the IRS notice applies or whether the 45 day date they gave me is overridden by the notice.

We are in Downingtown, PA which is about 1:45 away, so not too bad.

But if you can buy a home in a better area that will appreciate 4-5% or more per year, you will usually still cash flow.

You can use the 1031 to sell a larger unit that provides better cash flow while minimizing active management.You can either try to cluster those sales together so they close in a way that lets your replacement property be listed on each 45 day period and you close on it within 180 days of the first sale (the first exchange that will expire).Or you could do something like a reverse exchange where your Qi purchases the new property and holds it for you for up to 180 days while you sell all of your properties.
