I'm in a 1031 exchange trying to find a 8-30 lunit here ocally$100-$180k range/unit depending on location and conditionI'm from Los Angeles so it would be nice to meet some local active BPers.Thanks

I was thinking of starting a book exchange for people in the Raleigh, NC area. 

You'll have moments like these, and they'll push you to work harder and be more precise than any critically acclaimed self-help book out there.You need to let the hunger absorb you and dive into books, podcasts, and online classes.

We are having trouble deciding whether it makes sense to try to buy an 8 or 10 unit place on a 1031 exchange here in San Diego or just keep the buy and hold strategy on this one and undertake the remodeling project.

Also in terms of insurance claims do people have to wait for the claim(s) to be paid o before you purchase/acquire the property (land/lot)I am talking about a strategy I want to use in CA and I want to save money and have a lot of time I can exchange to get/acquire land potentially 

Conversely, what kind of terms would persuade a private lender to put up the 15-25% in exchange for second lien?

1031 exchange help needed.. 

At the end of those podcast they ask the person being interview for book recommendations, there is also a post on here somewhere that list all the books mentioned in each podcast.Then when you have a grasp of the type of investing you would like to do buy those books and listen to those podcast.With that being said some of my favorite are: The first is more general the others are Multifamily (can you guess what I picked after going through the podcast)Blue Ocean opportunities by Medawar Wheel Barrow of Profits By Gino BarbaroHow to create lifetime cash flow through MF properties by Rod Khleif (he ask for your email in exchange for the book).....Buying and Selling Apartment Buildings By Berges

We raised that portion of the funds through a partnership in which we gave equity & share of the cash flow away in exchange for the rehab money.

A 1031 exchange may be way to go, but can be delicate as far as timing.
