I know I can ask the 1031 exchange experts directly here through private messaging but I think this can be a helpful conversation for some other members in the forum.I have a business partner that we own a commercial real estate together 50/50 in Silicon Valley.And both of us have our own residential rentals.One of our conversation was to 1031 exchange our office condo to a multi-family 5+ property. 

Hi All - I'm just starting the process of rolling a portion of an old 401k into a self directed IRA, w/checkbook control.

I've never purchased from a wholesaler directly.

Cozy system is set up where the applicant, pays directly to cozy to run the credit / background check and then your able to get a copy of that.So you would have no cost factor in doing the application.

But in all seriousness, I am not into REI directly for the money, or the prestige, or the financial security.

My brother owns a condo in the Fayetteville, NC area and recently got a letter from his tenant's lawyer stating that they have filed bankruptcy and that he could not directly communicate with the tenant until the bankruptcy was complete.  

We have a large house with a lake view that is currently rented to a retired couple while they build a house (cough, McMansion) on their own property just below the rental, directly on the waterfront. 

If you need direction on good neighborhoods, etc. feel free to send me a PM.

I am looking for people to either share there knowledge with me or point me in a direction were i can achieve this knowledge.

I have a 5 x 8 utility trailer that is handy as hell , its light , easy to load and holds quite a bit .
