However, I would get an out of the blue phone call about once a month from someone saying that they'd put up some money if we wanted to go in on a property together.  

My wife was on the phone with a potential tenant as she was arriving at the building to view the unit.

If you want they're help applying for permits or getting contractors around, that's a different story, but general questions is what every business answers the phones for. 

You don't close a deal the first time you are on the phone and if you do, something is wrong.

I got the property manager on the phone.

I attend both and I'm on the Board of Directors of R.O.A.Finally, DM me here with your phone number and I'm happy to open doors for you locally. 

After reaching out to two separate CPA's they advised me they do not answer 1031 questions and the intermediary should confirm the correct deadline date.Can anyone confirm whether the qualified intermediary should provide the confirmation of the date pursuant to the IRS notice or provide a CPA who does phone or zoom consultations and works with 1031's/IRS Notices?

Quote from @Jim Reynante: After owning properties C/D neighborhoods with high crime statistics, I have experienced all of the things that go along with it: 1) High turnover rate; 2) Tenants that don't care for the property; 3) Little/No appreciation in home value; and 4) High Crime Rate (burglary, vandalism).I am pretty tired of fixing broken windows, fixing broken doors/locks, and painting over graffiti.

You can reach them by phone.

Hey Errol, Im open to getting on the phone with you to give you some perspective of this type of construction and what you should expect if you decide to move forward.
