We're planning on selling our CA triplex in the not too distant future, so I was pondering doing a reverse 1031 on this as I don't see us being able to sell our triplex before buying the 12 unit.Current triplex info: worth around $725,000 or so, mortgage principal is about $340,000. 

Any suggestions or guidance would be hugely helpful in getting me over the hump of landing my first deal.  

I know you will be above average.These thoughts come to mind when I hear the words average...... borderline poverty, 401K, working to earn and not to learn, wanting be paid for everything, working only 8 hours a day, out of office reply on your email, thank good it's friday,  glad we hit hump day,  lets get to the lake and relax, stay on the sidewalk....Frank

I feel that the competitors are really starting to offer more features that I would need like a USB ports and better pens to write on screens.  

For us being military has allowed us to achieve this by age 27 and 29 with unique opportunities of buying personals wherever we are stationed. 

I need any help that I can get, and I would greatly appreciate any and all advice that you may have for me to help me get over this "hump." 

We got in at a really good time and now we're seeing places all around us, being sold for 100K-200K more than what we paid, which is probably why it feels pretty painful to buy locally.

The plan is to form a multi-member LLC as a vehicle to own the property, with all 3 of us being members. 

I am a graduate from the Fortune Builders Mastery program and my Company "Fast and Fair Home Buyers" is set up and ready to go.I am a Chef/ Cater that has always had a passion and involvement in Real Estate as a Landlord.I am following through on my passion for Investing and I am grateful for any advice that my courses did not cover, the hands on experiences.....I am anxious put a bid on on my first wholesale deal and receive help from those that remember how it was to get over the "hump" of their first investment deal!!

We all know BRRR is the ultimate goal, however, with us being so far away, it's just too many things to juggle without having a tried, tested and trustworthy team on the ground.
