Because the 1031 by statute starts with the sale of investment property and ends with the purchase this creates some difficulty when you're trying to sell multiples and place them into fewer but larger properties.  

Good places to ask questions and get info on the process from people who have bought, owned, and flipped multiple properties.

I would /have interviewed 2/3 lenders ( community banks not the national lenders as they have much more flexibility / also credit unions  are a great source ) and shop just like anything else.

The inspiration for this post was an interview I watched of Donald Trump from 1987.

I’ve already selected a property management company as well out of a few I’ve interviewed.

Wondering if anyone out there has built multiple polebarns on one lot to rent out to construction or landscaping companies?

MF is VERY hot is KC right now so there are multiple offers the day a property is listed.

Nope, if they don’t show on your tax return, and it’s your 1st rental or multiple, you get to count the rents from day one.

I made cold calls and made a couple of appointments.First one : a 15 unit (some just are rooms for rent) and multiple apartments. 

But I doubt this is the case from the sounds of it.I have purchased properties before where there were incredibly complex title searches, where multiple estates were involved, heirs died without a will, hand written deeds in the chain with incorrect or incomplete legal descriptions, etc. - and in instances like these, I've paid the closing attorney upwards of $1k - $2k just for his fee alone.
