Although @Joshua Dorkin has correctly stated that posts aren't deleted, they can be hidden when they have some forum rule violation or when a post is a duplicate.

You'll likely need to be in a C/C+ neighborhood to find the 1% rule, but you can still break even or sometimes get some slight cash flow in the B neighborhoods of Columbus.

Make sure to have clear rules in place.

Even though your market might prove expensive, I would exhaust all options before ruling it out.Truth is, you have a unique competitive advantage in your market.  

@Zach Denny  Similar to what Minna posted above, I have done with a local portfolio lender bank where they set their own lending rules. 

Driving a car is legal, as long as you follow the rules.

You can find duplexes under $180K in C-class neighborhoods, in decent condition, that meet or exceed the 1% rule

I had to live in the property due to the FHA occupancy rules, so I had about an hour and 15 minute commute to work every day.I settled on Tilton (small town in central NH) because the property was right and it cash flowed very well, and was quite cheap (at the time... 240k), I could get the loan to get into the building and own 4 units.

It seems simple, but it's not a DIY thing because of technical rules that are different depending on circumstances.Or, you can pay a lawyer to file an ejectment lawsuit, the developer can pay a lawyer to defend the lawsuit and redeem, and the developer will also be responsible for reimbursing your legal fees, plus interest. 

Based on IRS Private Letter Rulings (PLR 200805012 and PLR 200901020), development rights can qualify as like-kind property for a 1031 exchange if they are considered interests in real estate under state law.
