Now would you say it's possible to build a network via the web?

Some people benefit from paying a lot of money for basic advice (that's otherwise free on the web) but remember that a stopped clock will tell you the correct time twice a day.

I’m sharing my story so everyone can be aware and hopefully avoid the same experience.I received a call from one of my ads that targets probate clients.

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

Squatters are a real problem nationally and a study found that they target not only vacant properties but those advertised for rent or sale that offer 'immediate occupancy.' 

There are times when we see deals on the table that won't produce any cashflow or not enough cashflow to meet our target hurdle rate but the tax benefits or appreciation potential may make the deal attractive. 

Also, now ADUs are prohibited from being used as STRs, so it worked out well to target MTR. 

My target for the first fund would be $5-10 million and I have a few HNW investors in my network but certainly not enough.

Is there any way to basically “lock in” the target building, or is there always going to be a risk that you won’t be able to find the right building within the 1031 timeframe?

For those that need a property eligible for immediate launch, the target can be smaller. - Expect buyer competition.
