I’m pretty new to the game so any exposure or learning opportunity is good for me.

Hi @Greg Kristy,I'm a big believer that maximum exposure gets the highest price.

Which are the best conferences to attend if I am looking for exposure to various operators (in need of capital)?

Awesome, the more exposure, the better.

And, I hear you, @Timothy Edwards ...it is a bit overwhelming diving into this real estate world, having never had any exposure till now other than buying our first home last year.

They might help give you some exposure to different real estate investing avenues you likely haven't thought of yet. 

The Indianapolis syndication is a fund across multiple classes, B+, B++ and A- (this limits exposure to just say C class or B class)I hope that helps!

I would like to retire in 10 years and am considering selling the house which could produce about $1.4M after realtor fees, then use that to buy ~3ish rental properties cash in an 1031 exchange so I minimize the tax exposure and start producing monthly cashflow that can provide the basis for a retirement in 10 years. 

Best to focus on having the exposure that matches your anticipated future needs.

This is for the unit my wife and I will be living in) their prices are set at $323 or $403 per window, and we quoted the better windows for the parts of the house with constant sun exposure at just under $8000.
