Been looking to expand resources from just wholesellers. 

The new people don't know and they are the business target.

You have a lot of resources at BP and in this feed. 

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.

Also would you focus on a specific target market you are familiar with and know the comps like the back of your hand and have boots on the ground ?

I will be quick to admit I have only had experiences with small rentals (6 units and smaller) so if you are looking for help on larger apartment complexes I would not be a great resource.

BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor.
