Friends of friends look good, anxious to take possession asap, even tell me openly they will be on the street by dd/mm/yy.We have to treat them just like every other applicant, even though we didn't sign up to be a Social Service for the County. 

There ARE people able to create enough hype, misdirection, and lies to successfully conduct a “Capital raise” without possessing the experience, education, knowledge and analytical ability necessary to have a fair shot at success.  

Also, in a 1031 the seller cannot take possession of the funds so you giving him the downpayment to do repairs would be challenging.

I currently possess several properties in NC and Las Vegas.

I always take pictures of every room when the tenant takes possession. 

Once we got possession turned out her brother had deconstructed some old chevy and then put kind of back together in the basement and we had to get a backhoe to lift it out..

I also found somewhere to relocate my family, the seller has taken the property off market and agreed to wait for cash until I receive the funds from the sale, with a post possession 5 days out from closing.

I can happily say I accomplished all the goals I prioritized on this quick 48 hour trip:-Meet General Contractor and Property Management company - ACCOMPLISHED-Visit/Walk-Through Property - ACCOMPLISHED-Get property keys in my possession - ACCOMPLISHED-Build relationships on the ground in Indy for future investments (scheduled 6 meetings with various investors, turnkeys, project managers, realtors) - ACCOMPLISHEDAs a quick recap, here are a number of photos AT ACQUISITION in December:Here are first-hand photos I took personally of the property in March:A day after I left, they brought in a load of gravel for the the driveway and replaced the dented and un-operational garage door.Stay tuned for more updates. 

Their intention was to take possession of the property by end of this week.

They take possession of the property in foreclosure.
