In January of 2015 I came to Colorado to visit my sister for the weekend and by February of that same year I decided to do the most spontaneous thing I've ever done and quit my job, say bye to my family, and drive out here to the beautiful Colorado, starting over.

Basically, it took 2 months, court, a visit from the deputy's and finally at the last possible minute, she got out. 

.- The 45 day timeline to identify up to 3 properties, 1 of which I absolutely must purchase (required by the 1031 exchange), is obviously a very short timeline. 

City and County have no geographic restrictions within those boundaries, but if within Chicago limits you cannot participate in the Cook County program - must go Chicago. 

I visited Cleveland in August, after I decided to invest there.

Co-owner must be located somehow.Welcome to BP!

I believe you must identify potential purchases within 45 days and must close on one of those properties within 6 months.

However, you must make sure you give him proper notice of lease change according to your local laws.

You dont need a website any time soon, that must be a want. 

You must be able to not only cover the payments but have access to reserve funds to do the repairs.
