Eric and Bob are in the process of lawyering up in the hopes of recovering some of their money and if anyone is facing similar problems I would encourage you to reach out to me via DM so we can all collaborate. 

Utilize internet tools, collaborate with real estate agents, and use your network to find off-market opportunities.All the best!

@Brandon Foster Looks like you're going to have a bump in listings of former rental properties.  

Depending on what the program offers, they could partner on deals with you, you could leverage their credibility, they can help you get financing on loans you would not be able to qualify for alone, and if the group has a network of people that collaborate you get access to awesome people all working towards similar goals.

Whether it's swapping stories, insights, or collaborating on new ventures, I'm all in.

@Anthoney Hanks & @Dave Foster thank you both for the welcome and input!

It fosters a strong sense of community, safety, and warmth, creating an environment that goes beyond financial considerations. 

I'm also looping in @Dave Foster who helps many of our clients with 1031 exchanges that will be able to answer any specific questions you, or anyone else has. 

What do you think @Dave Foster?

Quote from @Dave Foster: @Matthew Kirchmyer, if you want to do a 1031 then you have to purchase at least as much real estate as you sell.
