Your first 1031 is always daunting because the amount of detail and rules surrounding the transaction can be overwhelming. 

I will definitely reach out to you Steve for questions as we are looking at Lexington and surrounding areas.

Ive made the decision to job into Commercial Multi-family properties in the Kalamazoo Mi area and wanted to reach out to the BP community to see if anyone could point me in the right direction to find some commercial ...

I know it doesn't matter to you but I am going to write my investment plan down just for myself or anyone else who cares to see.I plan on investing in multifamily homes in the surrounding cities of Atlanta (and hopefully some closer to the city as well).

Also, the fence surrounding the back yard is made from wire and wood with ivy taking over most of the back end.

Most major blue-collar jobs have left leaving a primarily services-based economy around Cedar Point tourists.Background: I grew up there (live in Maryland now) and have seen my childhood neighborhood get taken over by the Firelands Regional Medical Center and have seen the surrounding area properties fall into disrepair. 

The rules surround keeping this money separate from personal finances, and avoiding any direct or indirect benefit between a plan and certain disqualified persons (you and lineal family mostly). 

I have included a link to a gif showing the location grades of the neighborhood and surround areas from 2015 to 2018.

Also can the bank appraisal  come it higher that what was paid IF the home was bought at a discount AND the homes in the surrounding area are of higher value? 

We would keep and rent this house out BUT, we have a pool surrounded by Huge hackberry trees and 3 months out of the year, we are cleaning pool traps 6 times a day.
